The writer made the first of her two trips to this remote corner of Nepal in 1990. This book, the first by the novelist of The Tutor of History, is an account of her travels and also the story of a Nepali woman confronting the schisms in the communities she meets, in her country, and in her own identity. This acclaimed work provides first time visitors with a reference point and an insight into a region that once followed a strict policy of isolation.
