A New York Times Notable Book: "A ravishingly seductive novel... set in contemporary Kathmandu" (
Elle).
Ramchandra is a math teacher earning a low wage and living in a small apartment with his wife and two children. Moonlighting as a tutor, he engages in an illicit affair with one of his tutees, Malati, a beautiful, impoverished teenager, who is also a new mother. She provides for him what his wife, who comes from a privileged background, does not: desire, mystery, and a simpler life.
Just as this Nepalese city struggles with the conflicts of change, Ramchandra must also learn to accommodate both tradition and his very modern desires, in this "gripping" novel by the Whiting Award-winning author of
Buddha's Orphans (
The New York Times Book Review).
"Utterly absorbing... Upadhyay's lucent and tender storytelling gently unveils the strange interplay between self and family, the private and the political, and most mysteriously, the erotic and the spiritual." -
Booklist
"Poignant...
The Guru of Love effectively weaves together the complicated dichotomies of man and mistress, love and lust, tradition and modernity." -
USA Today
"Reads like a graceful, page-turning mixture of stirring romance and social commentary." -
