Profoundly compassionate and a masterful storyteller, Avinuo Kire describes a

world that is as breathtaking as it is shattering; where military occupation and

magic co-exist.

'The Disturbance' holds three interconnected stories, set against the backdrop

of the Indo-Naga conflict that began in the late 1940s and remains unresolved

to this day. Told through the eyes of women from three succeeding generations

of the same family, the stories recount how Naga people remained determined

to hold on to normalcy even in the face of occupation, state torture, the

tearing apart of families and racism.
