Lyrical and haunting, and also deeply political, this is an
original offering from one of the most distinctive literary voices
from South Asia. Prema, a young woman adrift in war-torn Nepal,
with little to bind her to her family, village and country, wins a
green card in a US government lottery and emigrates to Los Angeles.
In this unfamiliar metropolis she struggles to invent a life she
can call her own, even as love and sexual awakening transform her.
And in the end, a chance discovery - of the endangered El Segundo
Blue butterfly - brings her to a fragile sense of belonging.
