{"product_id":"book-fq5r","title":"A Childhood in Tibet","description":"Tendöl Namling turned 60 in March 2019. She was born at the time when the Dalai Lama   fled from Lhasa and the uprising of his people by the Chinese People's Army   was brutally suppressed. She has lived for 22 years under Chinese rule. As   the daughter of a high government official, she underwent the ordeal of   're-education' with full force. All she has kept from these years are painful   memories and some crumpled photographs. They show her with her friends and   cousins in Lhasa, smiling as if nothing had happened. When Tendöl turned 10   her brother was arrested and her mother sentenced to ten years in prison.   Tendöl was sent to work in road construction for several years. At the age of   20 she was allowed to start an apprenticeship as motor mechanic. Thanks to   the efforts of her family in exile, Tendöl was able to leave Tibet in 1982.   After twenty years of hardship she landed in prosperous Switzerland. It felt   as if she had to start her life all over again. She struggled but she never   gave up. She founded a family and a business and reconciled herself with the   painful past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Tendöl's words, 'this little book is dedicated to all the Tibetans who   continue to rebel against the Chinese occupation'.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49326228603184,"sku":"BDfq5r","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/537643-fq5r-Square.jpg?v=1733614029","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-fq5r","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
