Abstract: This book is an interesting story of Prema. A young woman adrift in war-torn rural 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. It is an unfamiliar metropolis she struggles to invent a life she can call her own, even as love and sexual awakening, transform her. There are no constants, or signpost, as she navigates the territory of her new world. But her commitment to Esther, the old woman she is employed to care for, her passionate relationship with Luis, her American lover and her growing involvement with the endangered EI Segundo Blue butterfly, give her a fragile sense of belonging.
