Five Sons and a Hundred Muri of Rice

As a five year old child in rural Nepal, Kharika Devkota struggles to come to terms with her arranged marriage. She confronts poverty, illiteracy and a society that fails to recognise her most basic human rights; yet by ninety years of age she has become a successful landowner, a micro-lender and a beloved great-grandmother.

Based on a true story, this book provides a rare insight into the exceptional courage and determination of this woman.
