Buddha's Orphans（ISBN=9780547469904） fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

　　Raja and Nilu are fated to fall in love.

They both have been abandoned—he through his mother’s suicide in

the public pond, she through her mother’s constant escape into

drink. He has grown up on the streets, she in a crumbling mansion.

And yet, they find each other, again and again. First when they are

children. Then when they are young lovers. And finally after they

both fear they have lost their marriage. But the events of the

past, even those we are ignorant of, inevitably haunt the present.

And Raja and Nilu’s story is not only their own.

Using Nepal’s political upheavals as a backdrop to demonstrate

how we are irreparably connected to past and home, Buddha’s Orphans

is an engrossing, unconventional love story, a seductive,

transporting read, and further evidence that Samrat Upadhyay is one

of our finest writers, thoroughly deserving of his acclaim as “the

Buddhist Chekhov” and comparisons to Amitav Ghosh, William Trevor,

and Jhumpa Lahiri.
