Summary:
"Love and marriage brought American anthropologist Elizabeth Enslin to a world she never planned to make her own: a life among Brahman in-laws in a remote village in the plains of
Nepal
. As she faced the challenges of married life, birth, and childrearing in a foreign culture, she discovered as much about human resilience, and the capacity for courage, as she did about herself. While the Gods Were Sleeping : A Journey Through Love and Rebellion in
Nepal
tells a compelling story of a woman transformed in intimate and unexpected ways. Set against the backdrop of increasing political turmoil in
Nepal
, Enslin's story takes us deep into the lives of local
women
as they claim their rightful place in society--and make their voices heard."--Provided by publisher.
