Description
A twenty-three-year-old Buddhist nun, Ngawang Sangdrol was arrested in Lhasa in 1992 after contesting the invasion of her country by the Chinese. Unless international pressure from NGO’s prevails, she will not be released before 2014. Due to her strength and perseverance, Ngawang Sangdrol has become a hero in Tibet.In an exclusive interview with the authors, the Dalai Lama himself emphasized her role as a symbol of the Tibetan cause. Her determination started at the age of eleven when she was imprisoned after recording Tibetan songs of freedom. In La prisonnière de Lhassa, Laeng and Broussard recount her incredible story from the convent to jail, through her faith and suffering. With never-before-published testimonies of those closest to her, this biography is an extremely powerful document. La prisonnière de Lhassa is the true story of an extraordinary woman, enamoured of freedom and courageous beyond reason.
