Summary

After her journey by bicycle from Ireland to India in 1963, as described in Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle, Murphy immerses herself in the life of the subcontinent. She works for six months in an orphanage for Tibetan children in Northern India, falling in love with the "Tiblets": the children of the new Tibet-in-exile. Murphy also explores India's Tibetan frontier.[3][4][5][6]
