Toda By Uma Subedi

Toda marks the debut novel of renowned Nepali writer Uma Subedi, offering a poignant portrayal of Parbati—a young woman from a modest background—who is caught between socio-political upheavals and societal rejection. Pressured into seeking work abroad, she goes to Israel with hopes for a better future, only to face emotional and existential challenges as a caretaker under unfamiliar circumstances. Through Parbati’s experience, the novel respectfully and authentically explores the often unspoken struggles of Nepali women migrant workers.
