Palpasa Café by Narayan Wagle

5.0

4 stars for the story, bumped to 5 because of the importance of the novel. I found the format of the novel quite unique, and the writing and plot varied between interesting, plodding, and harrowing - as life during wartimes often is. For this reason, and because it's one of a very limited selection of Nepali writing that has been translated to other languages, I give it 5 stars.
