In the shadows of the Himalaya, defiance is growing…
Casteism is rife, poverty is endemic. The time has come to rebel. Defying deep-rooted discrimination is dangerous, but when it comes to her children, Durga will never give up the fight.
“A complete masterpiece…” – Samata Foundation, Nepal
Sun & Shadow is the story of Durga and Prabesh, a young intercaste couple from Nepal, who are discovered having a secret affair. The threat of violent reprisal prohibits any hope of staying together, and they are forced to follow very different paths. Sun & Shadow is their story, and it delves mercilessly into the social issues faced by many in Nepal, including caste and gender discrimination, corruption, family violence and poverty among others. Sun & Shadow is presented as a work of fiction, but its compelling characters breathe life into a captivating narrative, and it will ring true for many readers.
A must-read, which will appeal to the Nepali audience as well as anyone has ever visited, or is contemplating visiting, Nepal.
