Land Where I Flee

Prajwal Parajuly · 2013

Three siblings return to Gangtok for their grandmother's birthday, all of them lying.

Three grandchildren return to Gangtok in Sikkim for their grandmother’s eighty-fourth birthday, each carrying something they have no intention of disclosing, and the household’s servant knows most of it already. Parajuly writes the family comedy with real acid, and the novel is as interested in caste and domestic service as in the siblings’ secrets.
