About this book
Born Diane Perry in London’s East End, the woman who becomes Tenzin Palmo travels to India in search of a life devoted to Buddhist practice. Vicki Mackenzie follows her transformation from a curious young Englishwoman into a nun willing to confront both physical hardship and the restrictions placed on women within her tradition. At the center of the biography are twelve years spent in a Himalayan cave, an extraordinary undertaking explored through an accessible human story. More adventurous than cosy, this account joins spiritual dedication with questions of independence, equality, and what women are permitted to aspire to.
