Parajuly is the son of an Indian father and Nepalese mother hailing from Gangtok in the Indian Himalayas, but spending most of his time somewhere between New York and Oxford. His insight is , therefore , something we should probably trust.
Trust.
(A note on spelling: Gurkha isn't the usual English spelling of the word, nor my preferred rendition, but it's the one the author and publisher have chosen so I've gone with it for this review.)
You might also enjoy [[Love and Obstacles by Aleksandar Hemon]] or [[The Royal Enigma by Krishna Bhatt]], but we had our reservations about the latter.
