Book Reviews of Hearing Birds Fly: A Nomadic Year in Mongolia
Book Review: Fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. I am traveling to Mongolia next year, and so am interested in reading as much as I can about the country and its people. The author truly brings us into life there, and through her experiences and friendships is able to help us understand not only what life is like in this harsh country, but to understand the people, as well. I appreciated the fact that she was totally honest in describing her feelings and what she went through for the year in Tsengel.
Since the last review here is three years ago, I hope that more people are able to read this book. It really brings a remote country closer to home.
Summary of Hearing Birds Fly: A Nomadic Year in Mongolia
After two years of working in the capital of Mongolia, journalist Louisa Waugh moved to the remote village of Tsengel, in the extreme west of the country. This is the story of the year she spent there, living and working with the people who have made a home in the stark but beautiful landscape. The villagers and their culture vividly emerge as she shares her happiness, frustrations, and occasional extreme loneliness and fear.
