A tree floats down a river from the mountain and becomes a sacred statue: compassion personified. At the river’s source squats an old, old lady whose fury can eat you alive, or keep you as safe as if you yourself were the mountain. People call her a demon – but once she was a goddess. Maybe. Who is she really? And in a time when youth, beauty and granted wishes are all that matters, who even cares?
For years, the figure of Yamanba has led Laura a merry dance round the mountain to the myths, legends and parables of East Asia – plus the outer reaches of her own unenlightened mind – chasing the echo of a being that can still, if she wants to, raise holy hell.
