Nima, the Sherpa of Namche, or the search for an errant spirit is a book that will immerse you in Tibetan culture, as a twelve-year-old boy takes you by the hand; it will carry you up to the motorless freedom of parasail flight; and it is also a book about the humanity of our fellow sentient creatures on this planet. But above all, it s the story of a small Sherpa who uncovers the truth about a chilling tragedy and its fateful impact on him as he commits to a mountain-climbing rescue of a lost soul, a norpa, who is trapped in a twilight existence.
