About the book
This poetic account captures the immediacy of her experience in a remote community far from modern life. With empathy and a sense of wonder, Connell brings to life the dramas of village existence - a boar hunt in winter, the wedding of a young neighbour, and the magic of the full-moon festival when the gods descend to dance amongst the villagers. An intimate and beautifully observed portrait of Himalayan village life.
