This one sounds amazing! I can’t wait to get started!
“Meena is 14 years old when her parents marry her to Manmohan, a twenty-one-year-old Nepali boy she has never met. As is customary in India, she must leave her childhood home- along with everything and everyone she’s ever known-to relocate to Nepal and embrace the home and identity of her husband’s family.
Manmohan is in college and spends most of the year in Kathmandu, far away from the little village Meena is confined in, leaving her alone with her demanding mother-in-law as she gradually finds comfort and love in her sister-in-law. As she navigates life in a strange place, we accompany the daring and unflinching Meena- and eventually her own daughter-while she struggles to manage her new family’s expectations in the uncertain tides of her diasporic life.”
