I read some sections of the book. It reads like a mixture of geography, history, sociology, anthropology with its emphasis on limbu mythology (with all those references to limbu mythsl) and love story playing out in the backdrop of the Maoist Insurgency. It doesn't read like a conventional novel at all but rather like a patch work of all these. The author's voice seems to be hovering in the background. As if you were watching a documentary with a running commentary on it. Well, certainly the novel ( like many of the English novels by Nepali-origin authors) seems to have been written with a western audience on mind. I thoroughly enjoyed the sections I read. I have high praised for MK Limbu.
