Set in 18th Century Tibet, this is a nostalgic look back at a simpler time.

This is almost a medication on work and life. The story is very simple, Khang Zhipa, a doctor's apprentice meets his betrothed Moshi Rati. Up until then, he has only been interested in herbs, and after, he still is, but he thinks Rati is cute, and enjoys her company.

The illustrations are gorgeous and it makes me wonder how women and men moved around in such beautiful clothing, without snagging them, or ruining them out in the yak fields.





There is no tension in this story, just the beautiful story of two people falling in love. Along the way we get to learn about the food they eat, and the herbs used for medicine.

A lovely pleasant read.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
