Farida : To Hell and Back
Bok av Fellow Chetan Singh
Farida, the second daughter among six, is her father's favorite. Her tremendous beauty is enhanced by the livid streak of empathy and magnanimity. Being born in a conventional family located in the cold hills of Kathmandu, her parents who are overwhelmed by the thought that birth of a son brings honour to family, neglect their daughter's need for education and empowerment, marry her off at an early age. They even disregard her lover Jamil who escapes abroad for further studies. Farida's marriage that took off with a zoom begins falling apart. She returns to her father's place to find that her ugly younger sister is being married to her lost lover but old love is inflamed when Jamil sees Farida. They meet up to sort out any misgivings only to find herself embroiled further into a doldrum of relationships as she meets with people of varied shades during her adventurous journey to another city to divorce her absconding husband.
