Hmm...seems like no one has read about it. I never heard about it either until I an aunt of mine gave me the book to read. It's based on NEPAL and Sajhakhohero....I rate it 10 out of 10. It's just FANTASTIC! It's a MUST read book. There is alot of good history about Nepal mixed with the story of rural people. Well, here is the summary which I copied from the book. "Fragile Mountains - A Novel about life, love, death and rebellion in the eastern hills of Nepal." It is said that all human activities seem futile and insignificant against the backdrop of the mighty Himalayas. Yet, even here, as everywhere else, people have hopes, dreams and aspirations. That's what keeps them going in this hard and improverished but enchantingly beautiful land. A fortunate few get to live their dreams, most don't. But life goes on, as it must; like the river, twisting and turning, overcoming all obstacles, but always on course to its final destination. Fragile Mountains is a story of three generations of a family who hope and dream and generally life as it comes until they find themselves trapped in the midst of a bloody Maoist rebellion. It's also about the tradition and culture of the Limbu people, an ancient and proud race of Mongoloid stock who have made the easter hill of Nepal their home for countless centuries. Believe me guys..ekdam ramro cha! Instead of wasting your time browsing in Sajha, read that book :P
