TO KILL A SNOW DRAGONFLY Hardcover

"To Kill a Snow Dragonfly" by Sharad P. Paul is an evocative and lyrical novel set against the backdrop of Tibet, intertwining personal tragedy with the sweeping changes of the Chinese Revolution. The story follows the journey of siblings Lobsang and Bhunchung, whose lives are irrevocably altered when a mole appears on Bhunchung's cheek, foretelling an untimely death for her future husband, and their village is subsequently overrun by Mao's troops. Seen primarily through Lobsang's eyes, the narrative navigates revolutions, disruptions, desires, and memories, shifting from tranquil Tibetan village tales to a boarding school in south India and eventually to Bombay, as the siblings strive to escape their homeland and find meaning amidst exile and the wilderness of the snow.
