1967: the Cultural Revolution is sweeping across China. As the Red Guard systematically loot and destroy Tibet's monasteries, a young boy, Gongzha, helps hide two treasures belonging to his local temple: an ebony-black Buddha marked with an ancient symbol and a twelfth-century text written in gold ink. The repercussions of his act will echo across the decades ... An epic story that will appeal to readers of The Kite Runner.
