Book Description
This love story is also a meticulously researched tale of a girl who was selected as the Royal Kumari of Kathmandu, Nepal at the age of four. A Kumari is a girl who is worshipped as a Living Goddess. The novel is based upon a clear-eyed understanding of the deep spiritual knowledge that nourishes this cultural practice. The heroine of "The Virgin Goddess" is Archita Shakya. When she is selected as the Royal Kumari of Kathmandu, she herself is worshipped as the Living Goddess. When she is deposed she returns to her family and acquires an education that is cut short during the pro-democracy struggles of 1989-1990. On discovering a plot to murder her after her wedding, she escapes from Kathmandu by assuming a false identity. In England she loses her original identity as completely as she lost her first love ... or so she thinks. However, life has a few more surprises in store.... This perceptive and witty tale of a Goddess who has to learn how to become a human being is a romantic, generous and very satisfying literary treat. This is a new and revised edition, and it also features an updated glossary.
