Sinopsis:
This novel tells a tale of self-exploration, romance, and finding ones self. It is spiritual, yet objective. Suyin Han does a magnificent job of helping me to know and understand the culture of the nepalese. She seeks out the falsities of faith, and the importance of love.

The Mountain is Young tells the story of Ann Ford, a young women who married for security, not love. When she takes a teaching position in the small city of Khatmandu, she discovers herself again, and the importance love has on ones life. Not only love for a significant other, but love of nature, love of yourself, and love for all things living. This novel will give you a whole new understanding of life and is definitely worth the read. If you can get your hands on this novel, I suggest you do so.

Abandoning her passionless marriage to colonial civil servant, John Ford, ann journeys to Khatmandu, land of gods, temples and snow peaks in a voyage of slef-discovery and spiritual awakening.

Against the erotic and deeply mystical backdrop of Khatmandu she learns the reality of love, with its pain and sacrifice. Here she meets the majestic Unni Mennon, worshipped by his own people, resented by the Europeans. And as they struggle against the rigid morality of European colonial standards and the man-made perversion of racial discrimination, their remarkable story-and the story of Khatmandu – unfolds.
