The Violet Shyness of Their Eyes: Notes from Nepal

Barbara Scot writes a personal account about her time abroad in Nepal. This book was a wonderful painting of the culture, people, and the challenges a foreigner has when
living among the native people. The book reminded me of a National Graphic story of the culture of the various Nepali residents. Scot shares her ascent climbing the mount to Mt. Everest, as well as her experiences in teaching English to the native children. A great read!
