From Heaven Lake is the travel log of Vikram Seth, a Stanford student traveling in China doing research and seeing the sights. He has spent at this point two years as a graduate student at Nanjing University and in 1981 instead of going straight home (New Delhi, India) for the first time in three years, he delays the reunion by deciding to hitchhike across China through Tibet particularly to see the city of Lhasa. He meets different obstacles along the way but also discovers the kinds and peculiarities of the people of China. I recommend this book to anyone who reads diaries or travel logs, or loves the realistic down to earth real life adventures. Rating: 4Q, 2P
