Review

A rich, lively, constantly engaging story. Buddhisagar is a Nepali Charles Dickens, orchestrating a great gallery of characters, and juggling their stories with seamless skill. It is impressive, ambitious and compulsively readable. -- MICHAEL PALIN

Buddhisagar's moving tale of love and struggle in western Nepal is also a broad but intimate social study. Michael Hutt's tender translation reproduces that world. As a soldier says on the novel's last day, "This is what life is like." -- THOMAS BELL

About the Author

Buddhisagar is a highly original writer: he invents metaphors, coins phrases and makes references that are opaque even to Nepali readers. The winner of multiple prestigious literary awards, Buddhisagar's works include Karnali Blues, Hajaraun Prithivi, Hajaraun Aakas, Buddhisagar Ka Kavita and Firfire.

Michael Hutt is a former professor of Nepali and Himalayan Studies, SOAS, University of London. He has written and published extensively in Nepali and numerous pieces by him have appeared in international media.
