Five Sons and a Hundred Muri of Rice: A rare insight into the life of a child bride in rural Nepal
Sharyn Steel, Zoe Dryden
As a five-year-old child in rural Nepal, Kharika Devkota struggles to come to terms with her arranged marriage. She confronts poverty, illiteracy and a society that fails to recognise her most basic human rights; yet by ninety years of age, she has become a successful landowner, a micro-lender, and a beloved great-grandmother. Based on a true story, this book provides a rare insight into the exceptional courage and determination of this woman.
