The novel incorporates elements of Tibetan Buddhism, which Kernaghan first discovered while editing interviews of the Dalai Lama and perusing related literature. [2] A review in Books in Canada called the prose "lushly cinematic", noting elaborate descriptions of the setting, but found the plot and characters uninteresting. [1] Mark Harris of the Vancouver Sun found the novel to be too safe, unable to "earn the disapproval of even the strictest of abbots". [3] The writer and critic Denise Dumars, however, enjoyed the novel's "colorful" characters in a review for Cinescape. [4] The Edmonton Journal 's Douglas Barbour also commended Kernaghan's writing style. [5]
