Britta not only teaches us about the fascinating country of Bhutan but she also shares her experiences with it's wonderful people ,places and deeply rooted religion.
The friendships and love that Britta finds during her year in Mongar are touching and sensitively written.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a Novel, 8 Sep 2006

By	Alison Gill (Cornwall, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An outstanding book, especially for a first-time writer. Buttertea at Sunrise is not just a novel; Britta Das innovatively straddles the genres of fiction, travel, biography and spiritual interests with her gritty, evocative and compassionate portrait of her experiences as a physio in Bhutan. My eyes were certainly opened to the beauty, poverty and hospitality of the small village of Mongar and its inhabitants.
Britta's story unfolds amidst this portrait of rural Bhutan, and develops into a subtle tale of love and personal endeavour.
A little treasure of a book with the power to expand anyone's horizons; I thoroughly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Guide, 19 May 2006

By	Trish (London, England) - See all my reviews

Working as a physiotherapist in Bhutan, Britta Das experiences more than any tourist ever could. Das is a great guide: thoughtful, curious, sensitive and deeply committed to the people she is writing about. This is a warm and uplifting story, told with joy and a lot of heart.
