Tshering Dendup's Profile

The book is rich in portraying the prejudiced culture or belief that the Bhutanese were adhering to, back in those days of underdeveloped stage. And it sure has a strong message from the feminist point of view, in which we get to see the protagonist; Tshomo,a female deprived of the opportunities given to men in the society, charged as guilty for bearing a child while ignoring the cruel deed of a man (Wangchen) and inhumanely abused by those of animal-like creatures, when the protagonist was striving to survive in this prejudiced society during the improvement of Road Transportation facility in our country. A deep sense of insecurity amongst women during those days is convincingly embedded in the author’s narrative. The protagonist is then taken into different settings (across Bhutan) in pursuit of the 'purpose of life' and further leading through the paths of Dharma. Hence the book has the capacity to strongly empower women with their own deserved freedom.
