An Orphan & her Grandfather Living Beneath the Himalayas in the 1980s on the Cusp of the Nepalese Bid for Independence in "The Inheritance of Loss". An Excellent Sophmore Effort from Kiran Desai. FASHIONTRIBES BOOK BLOG
Jemubhai Popatlal is a retired Cambridge-educated judge who lives in Kalimpong, at the foot of the Himalayas, with his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, and his cook. They have a makeshift group of neighbors such as a posse of Anglophiles who are V.S. Naipaul-savvy, but less so about where they rank on the social foodchain...until social unrest hits the region and they become targets. Starcrossed love, miserable expatriates, and crumbling cultural identity - and a healhty dose of humor - add up to a great read. Available at Amazon.com
