Inhaltsangabe
Prajwal Parajuly has been hailed as a writer with talents of “considerable strength.” (The Guardian). Shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, TheGurkha’s Daughter is a moving collection of short stories of the Nepali-speaking diaspora in India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Manhattan. Among the characters and stories that live in it are: a disfigured servant girl who plans to flee Nepal; a Kalimpong shopkeeper who faces an impossible dilemma; a Nepali-Bhutanese refugee who pins her hopes on the West; two young Nepali-speaking immigrants meet in Manhattan; and a Gurkha’s daughter who tries to comprehend her father’s dissatisfaction with her. Eye-opening, compassionate, and deeply-human, the stories of The Ghurka’s Daughter evoked a powerful realism and tenderness that reflects those very real places of the Nepalese diaspora that inspire Parajuly.
