Description

A travelogue of Nepal is by its very nature an intriguing piece because Nepal is such an exotic locale with such a wealth of material to write about--its scenery, wildlife, people, and customs. But Barbara Scot's account of her Nepalese adventure shines above the ordinary travel yarn. She has a flair for description, understands the language, and shows a genuine respect for Nepalese culture that infuses every scene and anecdote. More than just a travel-jaunt memoir, The Violet Shyness of Their Eyes is a feminist's view of the women of Nepal.
