Darkmotherland
$29.82 online at Bookshop.org
In earthquake-ravaged Darkmotherland, a dystopian reimagining of Nepal, Samrat Upadhyay fills a novel with lovers and widows, dictators and dissidents, paupers, fundamentalists, and a genderqueer power player with eyes on the throne. Two narratives intertwine: Kranti, a revolutionary's daughter who marries into a plutocratic dynasty and becomes ensnared in the family's politics; and the new dictator and his mistress Rozy, who undergoes radical body changes and grows into a figure of immense power. Personal ambitions tie to political fortunes, identities are shaped by family and social reins, and East connects to and collides with West in a tale of love and political violence.
