Against a Peacock Sky: Two Years in the Life of a Nepalese Village

For two years Monica Connell lived as a paying guest of Kalchu and Chola in the Nepalese Himalayan village of Talphi, ten days walk from the nearest road. This book poetically captures the immediacy of Connell`s experience, and her empathy and sense of wonder at the dramas of village life – a boar hunt in winter, the wedding of a young neighbour and the magic of the full-moon festival when the gods descend to dance amongst the villagers.
