Reviews
Even as destruction and difficulty run as an unbroken thread through the more than 500 pages of this extraordinary anthology, so too do immense courage and forbearance * TLS *
One of the finest books I have read this year. It contains diverse, eye-opening and very good reading across both fact and fiction * Nudge Book *
If you want a book in English that tells you about Nepalese thinking, and gives a taste of the country's contemporary literature, you could hardly do better than House of Snow * Daily Telegraph *
A great collection * Adventure Travel *
A well-curated sliver of works that highlight the richness and variety of Nepal's literary contribution * Kathmandu Post *
House of Snow [corrals] some fabulous literature on Nepal * Wanderlust *
