A compelling and unforgettable encounter on the roof of the world? Hoping to reach Tibet after a twenty year obsession, Charlie Carroll travelled to China. Contending with Chinese bureaucracy, unforgiving terrain and sickness-inducing altitude, Charlie experienced twenty-first century Tibet in all its heartbreaking beauty. Tibetan-born Lobsang fled the volatile region over the Himalayas, on foot, as a child in 1989. An exile in Nepal, then a student in India, he was called back to Tibet by love. At the end of the road known as the Friendship Highway, he met Charlie and recounted his extraordinary life story, exemplifying the hardship, resilience and hope of modern Tibetan life. AUTHOR: Charlie Carroll is a writer, musician, teacher and traveller. He lives with his wife and their cat, Digby. His first book, 'On the Edge', was described by the Daily Mial as "A profoundly shocking book" and his second, "No Fixed Abode", was featured in Time Out magazine. Charlie has spoken on local BBC radio stations and BBC Radio 5Live, and written for The Guardian and The Big Issue.
