I came across a lovely review on Amazon today. Thank you Anu. Having spent a few years living in Mongolia (and being married to a Mongolian) I always have a difficult time trying to convey the flow and the feel of life there. Other books take a factual textbook approach to explaining it but Uuganaa has captured the true spirit of Mongolia. Her struggles to adapt to certain aspects of western culture were also wonderfully captured and left me with a smile as my husband faced many of the same challenges. Interspersed with her childhood in Mongolia is her son Billys story, which I wont lie is a sad one and had me in tears throughout the book. However, it was told in a way that was so filled with love and purpose that you are not left feeling sad for the Ramsay family, but rather sad that you did not get a chance to know Billy as well. It is a wonderful tribute to her son and is a comfort to me as both a mother and as a person who lost a beloved child in their life. I have the kindle version of this book and have purchased the paperback as a gift and will no doubt be purchasing more in the future. Anu
