 “Moreover, it also reflects Freud’s Electra complex. Some texts in the novel carry newness.”


Similarly, actress Keki Adhikari commented on the book in a different perspective. She said, “While reading the book, it gave me a nostalgic feeling about my adulthood days.  I think every girl could relate to the character in the book and they can also get nostalgic about the changes.”


Author Neupane revealed that the book is an unsaid homework given by his students. “During my 12-years-long teaching career, I used to give homework to my students. And during that phase of my life, the students too taught me some life lesson which initiated my journey to this book,” he said.


Published by Fineprints, it is priced Rs 498.
