Book excerpt: 2012 was a year in which documented abuses of human rights reached alarming heights within Tibet. At the same time there were unprecedented numbers of self-immolations, as individual Tibetans made a fiery protest against the continuing erosion of their language, culture, religion and freedom. As a foreign teacher in the Tibetan exile community in India, the author witnessed the pain of her Tibetan students and friends as the tragic year unfolded. But amidst the sadness she found humour, compassion and a determination to continue the Tibetans' non-violent struggle for freedom. 'The Yeti in the Library' is a testament to the bravery and character of a people in exile, set against the intriguing background of life in northern India.
