A Journey With Elsa Cloud by Leila Hadley
A Journey with Elsa Cloud starts when Leila, the engaging narrator, receives a call from an estranged daughter who, while living in the East, has become a student of Buddhism. Leila flies to India, and together mother and daughter travel through the subcontinent on an interior and exsterior journey toward understanding culminating in a visit with the Dalai Lama. This moving mother and daughter story is enlivened by richly textured descriptions and lyrical prose. `The best travel book I’ve ever read.’ -Norman Mailer`A ravishing memoir… Hadley’s intense curiousity, empathy, stunning associations and sensuous prose play over inner and outer landscapesNo traveller, armchair or otherwise, should be deprived of this book’s ripe pleasures.’
