Samrat Upadhyay

4.9/5 (13599 ratings)

Description:Upadhyay uses Nepal’s political upheavals of the past century as a backdrop to the story of an orphan boy, Raja, and the girl he is fated to love, Nilu, a daughter of privilege. Coveted by more than one woman, Raja is found and raised by a street vendor, kidnapped by an affluent housewife, and then found again by Nilu. Their love story scandalizes both families and takes readers through time and across the globe, through the loss of and search for children, and through several generations of this complicated family, hinting that perhaps old bends can, in fact, be righted in future branches of a family tree.Buddha’s Orphans is a novel permeated with the sense of how we are irreparably connected to the mothers who birthed us—whether we know them or not, whether we embrace them or not—and of the way events of the past, even those we are ignorant of, inevitably haunt the present. But most of all it is an engrossing, unconventional love story that defies the stereotypes of a traditional South Asian culture, all in a seductive and transporting read.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
