great book. beautiful story set in the backdrop of the civil war. i was pleasently surprised to read such a good book by a Nepali author. the story is heart warming.
The book is really interesting in many levels and makes for an excellent read especially for someone who wants to have an idea of lives in a country undergoing a civil war. Though the plot is centered around the Maoist insurgency in Nepal, the author never loses focus of the plot and does not turn it into a diatribe against the system. The character of the protagonist is well etched and the different circumstances he faces is well crafted. Read it for an enjoyable experience.
