Susan Elderkin, Financial Times (Book of the Year)‘Arresting vignettes in a fascinating account of the year that the author and a film crew spent in a village in a remote corner of Tibet. Sun Shuyun, who studied Tibetan at Oxford, uses it to chart a much more personal and sometimes painful journey.’ Daily Telegraph‘“A Year in Tibet” is a fascinating study of a little-known land.' Observer'What does come through ringing clear is the Tibetan people's remarkable serenity even in the midst of terrible hardships.' Daily MailPraise for ‘The Long March’:'An impressive job of on-the-ground reporting, interweaving the memories of survivors to build up the narrative… ' Observer'Sun Shuyun provides a sympathetic account…all the more refreshing because of the grit of her own travails.' The Times'[Sun Shuyun's] is a lively and very human account.' Sunday Telegraph'From the ocean of lies about the Long March she has salvaged much truth. I hope…Shuyun writes more books' Literary ReviewPraise for ‘Ten Thousand Miles without a Cloud’:'Packed with erudition and perception…it is also honest, sensitive, entirely without ego…ultimately, a meditation on the human condition.' Evening Standard'Sun Shuyun records her feelings and those of others with spontaneous simplicity, almost innocence, as if she were still the child seeking her grandmother's solution.' Sunday Telegraph
