Praise for daphne beal’s
IN THE LAND OF NO RIGHT ANGLES

A coming-of-age tale about an American woman, set in the foothills of Kathmandu and the red-light district of Mumbai.

In her instantly suspenseful first novel, Daphne Beal cracks open a world that most of us know only from newspapers and TV: the trafficking of young women. Her intimate knowledge of Nepal - the landscapes and customs, the everyday lives of its people - shines from these pages, making her a frank and humane tour guide into an underworld she makes fully her own.
