ISBN: 9788186706794.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaught in the everyday reality of household life, fifteen-year-old Tsomo is suddenly called upon to travel when her mother dies. She makes her first journey to a faraway village to light the ritual butter lamps in her mother’s memory. Beginning here, her travels take her to distant places, across Bhutan and into India. As she faces the world, a woman alone, Tsomo embarks on what becomes a life journey, in which she begins to find herself, and to grow as a person and a woman.\nThe first novel by a woman to come out of the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, The Circle of Karma, written in English, is rich in detailed descriptions of ritual life in Bhutan. The measured pace of its prose, the many nuances of the story, the different levels at which the narrative works, weave a complex tapestry of life in which the style and content are closely interwoven, each informing and enriching the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213411672117,"sku":"ByrdShop_8186706798","price":225.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9788186706794_2e097571-9f28-4805-9197-be80fc48a169.jpg?v=1779914708","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-circle-of-karma-9788186706794","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
