Chitralekhako Chaurasi By Prajwal Parajuli

Chitralekha ko Chaurasi is the Nepali translation of Prajwal Parajuly’s novel Land Where I Flee. The story centres on Chitralekha, an 83-year-old matriarch from Gangtok, India, and her three grandchildren—Agastya, Manasa, and Bhagwati—who reconvene for her 84th birthday. As they navigate the tensions of family, identity, loss, societal expectations, and hidden truths, Parajuly weaves a rich tapestry of culture and diaspora. Themes of gender, inclusivity, refugee experience, and belonging are explored through characters dealing with internal dilemmas amidst external pressures.
