Wedged deep in the Himalaya between India and China, the secretive kingdom of Bhutan guards its independence while around it, Sikkim and Tibet have been swallowed by the giants and Nepal is rife with unrest. Bhutan markets itself as the last Shangri-La, but a closer look reveals the turbulence that accompanies its efforts to join the Western world.

Murray Gunn and his French wife came to love and better understand Bhutan while living there for two years — but risked their marriage in the process. A travel memoir of discovery and change.

MEDIA ATTENTION

"Blending adventure, memoirs and travel-writing, the author leads on a meaningful journey of discovery. Will Gunn find a shred of happiness in Bhutan? Will his marriage survive? Will anyone die along the entirely-too-narrow mountain roads? ... Like The Heart of the Buddha two years ago, Dragon Bones helps to make Bhutan better known to English readers. In the process, the place loses none of its allure." — Cairns Media Magazine
