The Blue Sky : A Novel by Galsan Tschinag

The Blue Sky by Galsan Tschinag follows a young shepherd in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia. Family change, loss and contact with the wider world test his understanding of home and the life he has known.

Rooted in Tuvan oral traditions, this coming-of-age novel explores a community’s relationship with landscape and a changing way of life. Published by Milkweed Editions; fiction, not a practical guide to shamanism.
