«The Mountain Is Young» is the novel by Han Suyin, published by Sheridan in paperback (544 pages, in English).
The action takes place in Kathmandu, where Anne Ford, a teacher from outside, moves among temples, palaces and imposing mountains. Narrated in a confessional style, the novel is inspired by Han Suyin's attendance at the coronation of the King of Nepal and uses that basis to speak of love, cultural clash and self-discovery.
The work was originally published in 1958; this paperback edition from The Sheridan Book Company appeared in 1995.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction, romance and historical narrative with an Asian setting, particularly those who value works with an autobiographical background.
Rosalie Matilda Kuanghu Chou was a Chinese-born Eurasian physician and author better known by her pen name Han Suyin. She wrote in English and French on modern China, set her novels in East and Southeast Asia, and published autobiographical memoirs which covered the span of modern China. These writings gained her a reputation as an ardent and articulate supporter of the Chinese Communist Revolution. She lived in Lausanne, Switzerland, for many years until her death.
