3.0
Not a literary tour-de-force by any means but it was interesting to read more about the Kumari tradition from one of the former goddesses. When I was in Nepal in 2015 I saw the Kumari at her palace window. I felt simultaneously sorry for interrupting a little girl's day to gawk at her and honored to have had the opportunity to pay my ignorant respect. This tension between being a little girl with little girl interests and the centerpiece of Kathmandu Hinduism is set out with charm in the book. A light read. (the kindle version has a lot of typos...and no photos!)
