Product Information

In Bowing to Elephants , a woman seeking love and authenticity comes to understand herself as a citizen of the world through decades of wandering the globe. During her travels she sees herself more clearly as she gazes into the feathery eyes of a 14,000-pound African elephant and looks for answers to old questions in Vietnam and the tragically ravaged landscape of Cambodia. Bowing to Elephants is a travel memoir with a twistthe story of an unloved rich girl from San Francisco who becomes a travel junkie, searching for herself in the world to avoid the tragic fate of her narcissistic, alcoholic mother. Haunted by images of childhood loneliness and the need to learn about her world, Dimond journeys to far-flung placesinto the perfumed chaos of India, the nostalgic, damp streets of Paris, the gray, watery world of Venice in the winter, the reverent and silent mountains of Bhutan, and the gold temples of Burma. In the end, she accepts the death of the mother she never really hadand finds peace and her authentic self in the refuge of Buddhist practice.

Wandering far and widesome of us only do this in the imaginationDimond physically travels to those foreign places to find her true self, and we get to come along with her. A moving memoir full of food, paintings, landscapes, human hope and yearning."Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones and Let the Whole Thundering World Come Home"More than your average travel memoir, Bowing to Elephants elegantly weaves together the author's love of exotic locales with her internal quest for meaning and reconciliation with the past. A beautifully written, evocative, and moving literary journey."Sean Murphy, Hemingway Award-winning author of One Bird, One Stone and The Time of New Weather"This beautifully written memoir is a chronicle of inner and outer adventures, grounded in deliciously detailed descriptions of fine food and fine art, of city streets and wild landscapes, of architecture and literature, and exalted by the author's quest to respond to the cries of the world with compassionate action."Mirabai Starrr, author of Caravan of No Despair and God of Love"The prose is gorgeous and novelistic. . . . A luminous, engrossing meditation."Kirkus Reviews, starred review". . . the vein of Eat, Pray, Love . . . Dimond is a craftsman, filling her book with potent images."Indie Reader Reviews"A beautifully crafted memoir, weaving vivid descriptions, inner truths, suffering, and celebration into a tapestry of family revelations, love of the details of life, and worldwide adventure."Jack Kornfield, author of No Time Like the Present"This is a book worth savoring, with deftly told stories of childhood loneliness and neglect woven along vivid tales of people encountered at the ends of the Earth."BlueInk Review, starred review"Each place is depicted in great visual detail, and all five senses are played upon, make the related experiences tangible. The text also illustrates a deeper sense of a place, recalling the emotions of particular moments and evoking how the visited locations are special. Such details make Dimond's travel writing deeper than most."Foreword Reviews
