4.0
After scoring all 16 short stories the average score was 3.88,which rounded up gives a 4. I really believe that it is a fair rating of the overall collection.
A 5 star was given to "The Jorney of an Ideal". What a gorgeous story, beautifully written and the plot is captivating.
A 2.25 stars was given to "My Sister". I believe the mental health portrayal in this story was off-putting. It seemed like the protagonist was a tree log with zero empathy or common sense.
Overall this collection reflects on life of ordinary Nepalis, living a simple but dangerous and cruel life. Some of them are emotional, but all of them make you reflect upon yourself and your life.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who would like to have a peek at the life of people in Nepal, who deal with poverty, landslides. It provides an account of their mentality, their values. The characters are written well and they seem real.
I will be taking this book and its gorgeous cover back home with me!
