Description
Darkmotherland is a sweeping epic that reimagines a dystopian Nepal, where personal ambitions are inextricably tied to political fortunes. Set against the backdrop of an earthquake-ravaged world, this novel explores the intricate web of family pressures, social reins, and individual identities shaped by power and politics. At its heart are two intertwining narratives, one of a revolutionary's daughter who marries into a plutocratic dynasty, and the tale of the new dictator and his mistress, who undergoes radical transformation. As the East connects to and collides with the West, the boundaries between personal and political lives become increasingly blurred. With its vast cast of characters and grand scope, Darkmotherland is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition in a world where the personal and the political are inextricably entwined.
