Avinuo Kire tells the moving story of a rape survior who, at the threshold of a new life, looks back on the incident that has shaped nearly two decades of her life and wonders if she made the right choice. 

Culled from folk and tribal traditions of Naga life,Kire's stories take us into a world where spirits converse with humans, unsuspecting people are drawn into the movement for Naga independence, a man dies quietly for cancer, a mother wondes if she did the right thing in giving her child a name different from the one she intended. 

With insight and compassion, Avinuo Kire draws fine portraits of ordinary people in Naga society.
