Hermitage Among the Clouds: An Historical Novel of Fourteenth Century Vietnam — Thich Nhat Hanh

Filled with clarity and wisdom, this inspiring novel tells of Tran Nhan Tong, 13th king of what is now North Vietnam, who abdicated his throne to become a Buddhist monk, and of his daughter, Princess Amazing Jewel who, with her father, was committed to the simple beauty of a spiritual life, and to practicing peace--even in the midst of suffering and war.
