Baasan is a lama at the Dayan Deerkh monastery, as are two of his brothers; his oldest brother Bold is a nomadic herder like everyone else in the area. Baasan falls in love with Sendmaa, a beautiful, spirited young lady. They make love and Baasan elects to leave religious life and marry Sendmaa. What he doesn't know is that his brother is also in love with Sendmaa. As Sendmaa and Baasan are making their plans, Bold is going the more traditional way and approaching Sendmaa's parents for her hand.However, greater events will interfere with this love triangle. The new Mongolian ruler, Marshal Choibalsan, is an authoritarian Stalinist who unleashes a brutal, violent purge of Mongolian Buddhism. Almost all the monasteries in the country are burned to the ground and thousand of lamas are murdered. Baasan is thrown into a brutal prison, while Sendmaa and Bold struggle to survive while the nation suffers under communist oppression.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A rare example of a Mongolian novel translated into English. For another Mongolian work that deals with the wave of repression in this era, see the feature film A Pearl in the Forest. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The English translation of the novel starts with both a Distant Prologue set in the 18th century and a How We Got Here second chapter set in 2003. The Mongolian version has neither and starts with the story proper in 1937. | |

As You Know: A lot of this. When someone mentions that the name of the capital has been changed from Ikh Khuree to Ulaanbaatar, Tserennadmid feels the need to explicate that Ikh Khuree means "big monastery" and that the capital was also called "Urga" during the reign of the Bogd Khan, so in the 1910s and 1920s. | |
