SuitabookDaughter of the Mountains
Louise Rankin
- Reading
- Read alongside a conversation about historical viewpoint and cultural representation.
- Themes
- Courage and persistence: Momo pursues her stolen dog across a difficult route involving danger, lostness and travel through several regions. The quest presents persistence as central to Momo’s character and the adventure’s momentum.
- Cultural representation: The book addresses cultural representation; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book presents competing or mixed signals about this.
- Faith and meaning: Momo prays to Tara, and the journey includes a lama, a monastery and religious customs. Religion is visibly part of Momo’s world, but its narrative and evaluative treatment cannot be determined confidently.
- Worth knowing
- The intensity and detail of these moments are unclear.
