About this listen
The Great Nepali Novel is here!—PRAJWAL PARAJULY
Magnificent ... If you have loved and wondered why, you will want to read this book.—JERRY PINTO
Meena is fourteen years old when her parents marry her to Manmohan, a twenty-one-year-old Nepali boy she has never met. As is customary, she must leave her childhood home—along with everything and everyone she's ever known—to relocate to Nepal and embrace the home and identity of her husband's family.
Manmohan is in college and spends most of the year in Kathmandu, far away from the little village Meena is confined in, leaving her alone with her demanding mother-in-law as she gradually finds comfort and love in her sister-in-law.
Blending realism, ghost stories, myths and folktales, The Woman Who Climbed Trees accompanies the daring and unflinching Meena—and eventually her daughter—as she navigates life in a strange place, and struggles to manage her new family's expectations in the uncertain tides of her diasporic life.

Spellbinding read
A tale of the nuanced layers that bond women- be they mother-daughter, sisters, sisters in law, friends or lovers... There were times that I felt the relationships are beyond definition and deeper for it.
The world that Smriti Ravindra builds for us flits seamlessly between reality and magic... More so for women- much like the bag of gold and silver that shines only in female transacttions.
There were times when I did not completely understand the progress of writing, but the book left me spellbound nevertheless.

Complex. Beautiful. Riveting.
The story blends our traditional Indian (and Nepali) myths with complex Indian realities. A beautiful way to retell the lessons (or rather conversations) intended through these stories.

unbearable female voice
The story goes nowhere. Hated the voice over. All the members in our Book club disliked it.
