About the Book

Where the Cobbled Path Leads is a folk fantasy novel, interweaving fantasy fiction with Naga spirit stories and folklore. Eleven-year-old Vime is struggling to come to terms with the demise of her beloved mother. She has a special place she frequents-a cobbled footpath near her house which leads to a forest. On the day of her mother's death anniversary, not wanting to return home, Vime follows the cobbled footpath all the way to the deep end of the woods and discovers that the trail leads to a magnificent tree. She falls asleep under it only to wake up and find that the footpath has disappeared. Tei, a forest spirit, helps her relocate the missing pathway. Vime is soon to discover that this tree is no ordinary tree. It is a portal between the human and spirit world, and Vime keeps finding her way back to it. Distressed that her father might remarry, she decides to leave her earthly life and join her mother in the spiritual world. As she travels to, from and through these realms, she understands what it is to embrace and survive grief, and what it means to surrender herself to these old spirits, not all of whom are good.

Review :
A rich addition to the expanding world of writings from Nagaland and it should be exciting to see how Avinuo and other writers from the state will expand the literary landscape further-- "Money Control" A stirring, hypnotic new novel. Where the Cobbled Path Leads is a literary fable of remarkable depth and strange delights, a classic tale of leaving childhood and the connection between life, love and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.-- "KEVILENO SAKHRIE" Avinuo Kire uses her native resources to fuse modern life with folklore in this unique story.-- "TEMSÜLA AO" Kire not only gave us an incisive slice of contemporary Naga life, plump and ripe in its varied manifestations, but she also created an alchemy of a different kind by interweaving multiple life worlds and biospheres with Naga spirit tales and folklore-- "Usawa Literary Review" Offers everything that you look for in a fantasy novel: magic, compelling characters, a completely new world-- "Morung Express"
