While the Gods Were Sleeping: A Journey Through Love and Rebellion in Nepal

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.

Elizabeth Enslin is a daring original, both in life and on the page.
