Book Recommendation for Bookclub For Overseas Nepalis
I run a bookclub that is composed primarily of Nepalis in the US with a spatter of Nepalis based in Nepal and other places. We started off with The Kite Runner as the first book since its themes of civil war, migration and ethnic tensions seemed relevant to Nepali readers. The choice has proven to be tremendous, with all of us loving the book and finding so many parallels to draw with our own experiences growing up in Nepal. Now I am thinking of what our next book should be and I want your recommendations, with the only requirement being that the book should be socially relevant to Nepalis who're living outside the country.
Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake is one of the books I am considering, and would like to hear your recommendations.
Oh, and if you want to join the bookclub, do reach out. We meet weekly.
