Editorial Review: Product Description: Author Veronique Renard omitted something critical in her popular 2003 memoir Pantau in India. As if leaving behind Dutch corporate life, converting to Buddhism, and living among Tibetan refugees in the Himalayas was not amazing enough, Veronique transitioned from male to female 25 years ago and has never mentioned it since.

Now, she shares her unique experiences as a transsexual female in the occidental and oriental world with absolute candor. PHOLOMOLONO MAN NO WOMAN is a remarkable and inspiring story about yet another facet in Veroniques already amazing life, a story about learning to live your own truth every day. A delightfully funny, unabashedly erotic, and deeply moving portrait. Andrea James Average Rating:
