Hailed as 'a Buddhist Chekhov' by the San Franciso Chronicle, Samrat Upadhyay's writing has won high praise from stalwartsike Amitav Ghosh and Suketu Mehta.Set against the political upheavals in Nepal, Buddha's Orphans is the story of an orphaned boy, Raja and the girl he falls inove with, Nilu, a daughter of privilege. Theirove story scandalizes their families, travelling through time and across the world, in search forost children, exploring the possibility that past mistakes can, perhaps, be righted in the future branches of a family tree. Permeated with the sense of an unspoken connection to blood ties and how the past, even a past that we are ignorant of, inevitably haunts the present, Buddha's Orphans is an engrossing and unconventionalove story, a seductive and transporting read.
