This poignant graphic novel brings to life, vividly, the journey of a young woman to reclaim the traumatic landscape of her past.
‘It was a simple life; a peaceful life, ‘ narrator Tara muses in Ram Khatri’s pained, humane graphic novel. ‘At least that’s what I thought in my childhood innocence.’ Justice chronicles, from young Tara’s perspective, the end of that innocence, which comes to her Nepali family farm in the form of war.
First, in the early 2000s, her nation is torn between Maoist revolutionaries and government forces, with her father increasingly pressured to take a side. As neighbors turn on each other, and young people are hauled away to fight, Tara’s parents attempt to persevere without involving themselves. But soon soldiers are searching their home as the children hide in the barn, and when the worst happens Tara blames herself.
Justice: A Tale of the Nepali Civil War is the story of a young girl’s brave journey to reclaim the life she left behind during the unforgiving conflict of the Nepali Civil War. With its sublime settings, diverse characters, and riveting narrative, the girl learns the truth about the life that she left behind.
The graphic novel Justice is the first book of its planned three-book series.
