Originally written in Assamese as Miri Jiyori by Rajanikanta Bordoloi, The Daughter of Mising is a translation from Assamese into Spanish, introducing Spanish-speaking readers for the first time to a classic of Assamese literature. Set amidst the riverine landscapes of Assam, the novel tells a moving story of love, sacrifice, and separation, framed by the rich cultural heritage of the Mising community.
As two young lovers struggle against tradition, family expectations, and the forces of fate, their journey reveals the enduring power of love and the price of human longing. Deeply rooted in the life and customs of the Mising people, this translation opens a window into a vibrant cultural world while telling a timeless story that resonates across languages, cultures, and generations.
