A novel of love and political upheaval, in which "Kathmandu is as specific and heartfelt as Joyce's Dublin" (
San Francisco Chronicle).
In
Buddha's Orphans, Nepal's political upheavals of the past century serve as a backdrop to the story of an orphan boy, Raja, and the girl he is fated to love, Nilu, a daughter of privilege. Their love scandalizes both of their families-and the novel takes readers across the globe and through several generations.
This engrossing, unconventional love story explores the ways that events of the past, even those we are ignorant of, inevitably haunt the present. It is also a brilliant depiction of Nepali society from the Whiting Award-winning author of
Arresting God in Kathmandu.
"[Upadhyay is] a Buddhist Chekhov." -
San Francisco Chronicle
"Upadhyay... [illuminates] the shadow corners of his characters' psyches, as well as the complex social and political realities of life in Nepal, with equal grace." -
Elle
"[Upadhyay's] characters linger. They are captured with such concise, illuminating precision that one begins to feel that they just might be real." -
The Christian Science Monitor
"Absorbing... Beautifully told." -
