This book demonstrates Kath March's compassionate dedication in entering into and recording the lives of the Tamang women on their own terms. It is amazing how she was able to assimilate herself into their culture and learn the language without imposing any Western society judgments or criticisms whatsoever. Despite the enormous differences in their culture such as the lack of education and technology, Kath March enables us to recognize that we all belong to the same family of flesh and experiences that bring laughter and tears, joy and sorrow. The book truly helps the reader "come halfway" and feel the bond of sisterhood with women we never knew existed. Well done!
