Welcome to Litsy!

In this poignant memoir, Rieki Crins recalls her decades-long involvement with the little-known kingdom of Bhutan.When a young Rieki Crins first set foot in the little-known Buddhist country of Bhutan, long before it was known for being the "happiest country in the world she knew her heart had found a place to call home. So when the chance came for an offer to carry out research work in the little-known and relatively untouched village of Tsachapu, she didn't hesitate to jump at the chance. For an anthropologist like her, it was once in a lifetime opportunity. A nudge from Mother Fate herself. This would be the beginning of a 27-year love affair with Bhutan.But Bhutan was changing, like all things subject to time. Like the fast-spurt growth of late bloomer, it had transformed from an idyllic little kingdom to a country that was catching up with the rest of the world, and this had some unintended effects. During the final years of her involvement with Bhutan, she set up a foundation in Bhutan to help teenagers acquire real-world skills. It was a dream come true.Pleasant dreams often have a way of metamorphosing into horrible nightmares. Although she unaware, she was beginning to make enemies of those who'd rather things remained the way they are.Profoundly insightful and honest, Blacklisted in Bhutan is a chronicle of Rieki's experiences-good, bad and ugly-and is a deeply personal story of boundless love, selfless sacrifice and heart-rending betrayal from a place her heart called home.Scroll up and click the link to buy now!
