For an intimate look into the Sherpa culture, read Beyond the Summit. It's the first work to dramatize their lives in fiction. Like Apa, Dorje Sherpa is a yak herder who begins working for trekkers and expeditions. The story reveals the hardships these incredible people endure. Details of their culture and religion are interwoven in a story of romance and high adventure. There's something for everyone: a powerful love affair between an American journalist and Sherpa guide, conflict between generations as the modern world challenges centuries of tradition, an expedition from the porter's point of view.
The International Porter Protection Group has endorsed the work saying, "It is beautifully written and goes right to the porter's life."
All reviews have been 5-star. Below are selections from reviews.
