Summary

Anita Feng has crafted in Sid a delightful jewel that captures both the classic story of the Buddha, as well a deeply personal and familiar reflection of the story in a contemporary retelling.

Sid weaves the traditional tale of Siddhartha, the Buddha-to-be, with the story of Sid, an everyman who finds himself waking up amid the reality of work and family life in the modern world. Returning to the standard tale with careful consideration of the relationships in Buddha's life-to his wife, parents, and child-Feng's narrative embodies the Mahayana perspective of living one's enlightenment in the world.

Beautifully told in poetic prose, Sid teaches that the key to the story of the Buddha's life is that the story could be about any of us.
