Description

Namgyal Lhamo Taklha recounts her remarkable life in Born in Lhasa. She describes her childhood in a Tibet that no longer exists and chronicles her life and work on four continents. It is an engaging history of the Tibetan diaspora—dramatic and filled with anecdotes. Taklha’s autobiography differs from those of other prominent Tibetans because she discusses the unexpected challenges of living in America and Europe.
