Yangchen by Tshering Wangchuk

Some stories come free quite unexpectedly, quite beautiful. This is one of them.

Woven around an engaging yet unassuming character, this tale will tug at your heartstrings as it lucidly tells itself with compelling assurance. The protagonist, Yangchen, seems at times rather ordinary. At other times ethereal, perhaps even spectral.

Her story is one of triumph and loss, of loss and longing, of hope and innocence. It is also about growing up the pieces and soldering on.
