“I highly recommend reading Samsara!
It gave a great insight into Nepalese culture, history and political turmoil (especially for someone like myself who previously knew nothing about Nepal) without being bombarded with too many ‘heavy’ facts.
The plot is fast-paced so you end up learning about Nepal without actually noticing. I enjoyed the combination of the funny/tense/entertaining fictional story alongside the factual Nepalese elements.
I found the present tense writing style unusual and unique but I quickly got used to it and I found it drew me deep into the plot, experiencing what the characters were experiencing in real time.
I’d love to see this as a film down the line and Nepal has now been put onto my list of places to visit.”
A great read!
