Falling to Heaven by Jeanne Peterson
It's Tibet, 1954. Steeped in the Quaker tradition of non-violence and longing to live in a society that has embraced pacifism for centuries, two Americans Emma and Gerald Kittredge are soon happily adopted by their Tibetan neighbours, Dorje and Rinchen. But the arrival of Maoist soldiers into their quiet life shatters everything.
“This unusual novel is about faith, its loss and its regeneration” * Waterstone's Books Quarterly *
Jeanne Peterson is a clinical psychologist who worked for years with survivors of torture and communist re-education from all over Asia. In her free time she facilitates an advanced writing group in San Diego, where she lives with her two sons.
