Love and marriage brought American anthropologist Elizabeth
Enslin to a world she never planned to make her own: a life among
Brahman in-laws in a remote village in the plains of Nepal. As she
faced the challenges of married life, birth, and childrearing in a
foreign culture, she discovered as much about human resilience,
and the capacity for courage, as she did about herself. While the Gods Were Sleeping: A Journey Through Love and
Rebellion in Nepal tells a compelling story of a woman
transformed in intimate and unexpected ways. Set against the
backdrop of increasing political turmoil in Nepal, Enslin's story
takes us deep into the lives of local women as they claim their
rightful place in society -- and make their voices heard. pub date: 2014-09-23 | Paperback | 9781580055444 |
