The Violet Shyness of Their Eyes

The Violet Shyness of Their Eyes

by Barbara J. Scot

  • CULTURAL PORTRAIT
  • 2005
  • PAPER

A heartfelt portrait of the Nepalese people and culture, resulting from the author's year teaching in Nepal. An excellent memoirist, Scot combines personal observation, thoughtful commentary and warmth in this deceptively simple book. With black-and-white photographs, orientation maps and glossary. This revised edition includes an April 2004 epilogue by the author.  (HML14, $16.95)
