is a compelling historical novel set in the Angami Naga village of Khonoma during a period when British colonial expansion began reshaping Naga society. Through a richly woven narrative, the book portrays the Naga resistance to colonial rule, the vibrancy of community life and oral traditions, and the tensions between tradition and modernity. It also offers a nuanced account of the cultural and religious transformations that accompanied this era of change.
Written from an indigenous perspective, the novel documents the history, worldview, and cultural practices of the Angami Nagas with remarkable authenticity and sensitivity. I strongly recommend this book as a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Northeast India and its people.
