About Leaving Mother Lake: A Girlhood At The Edge Of The
Product Description The haunting memoir of a girl growing up in the Moso country in the Himalayas -- a unique matrilineal society. But even in this land of women, familial tension is eternal. Namu is a strong-willed daughter, and conflicts between her and her rebellious mother lead her to break the taboo that holds the Moso world together -- she leaves her mother's house. Review "I find this book beautiful, the Moso people inspiring, and Yang Erche Namu's own spirit refreshing, to say the least." About the Author Yang Erche Namu is a professional singer.Christine Mathieu did her doctoral study on Moso culture and history. She lives in San Francisco and is a professor of anthropology at St. Mary's College of California.
