description: A Haunting pilgrimage to one of China's holy mountains"Ehrlich . . . writes with tremendous grace and passion."—Miles Harvey,  Outside"In spare, lyrical prose, Ehrlich inventively recounts her 1995 spiritual trip to China and Tibet. . . . Like one of the landscape paintings of which she writes, Ehrlich's book is at once delicate, deeply considered and moving." — Publishers Weekly , starred review"Ehrlich's highly personal travelogue centers on her attempt to find what remains of [the] once-flourishing spiritual culture in the sacred mountains of western China. . . . [Ehrlich] intersperses her personal narrative with bits of the intellectual, political, historical and spiritual." —Alexandra Hall,  The New York Times Book Review"If  Questions of Heaven  has a message, it may reside in the author's belief in a bond across geography and generations, one transcending space and time." —David L. Ulin,  The Village Voice"This is travel writing at its best." —Glenn Masuchika,  Library Journal
