She of the mountains explores the ways in which humanity and divinity are linked through the story of an effeminate boy who is questioning his sexual identity. He's attracted to guys but can't help his growing affections towards a worldly girl from his college. His story is told in tandem with those relating to Hindu mythology, a story about the goddess, Parvathi, the giver of life and the different forms she inhibits. This book imagines life devoid of the social constraints of gender whilst also acknowledging the harm that often comes as a result.
