Longing for Darkness: Tara and the Black Madonna
by China Galland
From Publishers Weekly
Galland's fascination with Tara, the female Buddha of Tibetan tradition, and Kali, the black Hindu goddess, led her from India to Switzerland and Poland on a search for other black images of divinity. "Blending travelogue, free-floating meditation, autobiography and adventure, her intensely personal narrative is a disquieting spiritual odyssey," said PW. Photos.
