The novel reveals the stereotype society of Bhutan during the olden time. Tsomo, our protagonist faces internal and external climax due to the belief they had on 'Karma', cause and effect. She have to face challenges due to her society in which men are considered superior than women.
After her mother's death she was forced to travel and she did until she reached Indian plain, Bodhyaya and find eternal peace.
Novel had a good message on gender bias(men are superior than women) and religious believes.
This is the second book I had read by Kunzang Choden and after reading her book I never felt something is missing because she took the readers to reality.
