For people who have researched the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, most of the content of this book is well known as it describes the current situation and sets the record straight. It helped me to fine tune the specific cottage style that was right for me. His excitement for the new and unusual cultures and landscapes he is passing though, day after day, in the rugged country where Burma, Tibet, and NE India run into Southern China's Yunnan Province (where the action takes place here) comes through on every page, and makes the reader wish he could have been born in an earlier era when such adventures were still possible.Though some may complain that Kingdon-Ward displays a condescending colonial attitude toward the indigenous peoples he meets, in my own experience among these regions, what opinions he offers are merely his own impressions on that early trip, based on his direct experience.

Meanwhile, a mysterious bear lords over the surrounding woods. When the wife’s first pregnancy results in miscarriage, the husband covertly swallows the aborted fetus, which whispers cryptic commands and dark secrets to him, driving him to resent his equally enigmatic wife for her hope that she will someday give birth. They grow increasingly distant as she miscarries time and again, until at last she conceives a child that only drives the couple even further apart. The wife creates things with her voice, singing physical objects into existence and altering nature’s course. The husband, once a fisherman by trade, labors with his hands.

But as their every pregnancy fails, the child-obsessed husband begins to rage at this new world: the song-spun objects somehow created by his wife's beautiful singing voice, the giant and sentient bear that rules the beasts of the woods, the second moon weighing down the fabric of their starless sky, and the labyrinth of memory dug into the earth beneath their house. In this epic, mythical debut novel, a newly-wed couple escapes the busy confusion of their homeland for a distant and almost-uninhabited lakeshore. They plan to live there simply, to fish the lake, to trap the nearby woods, and build a house upon the dirt between where they can raise a family.   This novel, from one of our most exciting young writers, is a powerful exploration of the limits of parenthood and marriage—and of what happens when a marriage’s success is measured solely by the children it produces, or else the sorrow that marks their absence.
