I could not put this book down. I have just finished it and feel heart broken and so moved by the story or stories within. I have been studying Mandarin for five years and still have much to learn. I have been fortunate to visit China three times and love learning about this wonderful country, its languages, culture and history. I am working my way through Xinran’s amazing books, as well as those by other writers. I plan another trip to China in the next year or two; I am smitten by this country and its people. Keep up the wonderful work, Xinran.

Sky Burial is a wonderfully emotional story, rich in Tibetan custom. Part war story, mystery, rich in spirituality, Sky Burial begins and ends as an epic love story that will amaze as well as tear at your heart long after you have finished your reading.

I read this book so quickly and was so disappointed when it ended. Now I'm looking to know if there will be a follow up on Shu Wen.

As a year 12 student sky Burial has been put on my English list to be studied. I was not was thrilled to have it there, but after putting it off too long I decided to read it. I read it in one sitting, not because I couldn't put in down, but because I wanted to have it finished. I do understand that it is a novel about a epic love story of loss and sadness in a time of suffering, and I can understand the pain Wen must have been going through, but I feel that considering the length of the novel not really that much happens and the end left me unsatisfied as Xinran seems to leave the story incomplete.
