Against a Peacock Sky : Two Years in the Life of a Nepalese Village
Publisher: Eland Publishing Ltd
Free delivery available · Amazon buyer protection
For two years Monica Connell lived as a paying guest of Kalchu and Chola in the Nepalese Himalayan village of Talphi, ten days walk from the nearest road. 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.
