Easterine Kire, a highly productive writer originating from the Angami Naga tribe in contemporary times, has amassed a considerable body of literary works. Her extensive repertoire encompasses over 20 books written in English across various genres, such as poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and children's literature, showcasing her wide-ranging and diverse literary prowess. Within her extensive collection, Kire embarks on a profound quest to establish a profound connection with her Naga heritage and encapsulate the essence of life in the hills. Her literary endeavors delve into deeply ingrained taboos, customs, revered traditions, and region-specific laws. Notably, Kire's groundbreaking contributions include the preservation of Nagaland's oral history, a legacy that endures through the remaining storytellers in the country. This research paper undertakes a comprehensive analysis of Easterine Kire's "Don't Run, My Love," with a particular focus on its depiction of Nagaland's historical backdrop. The narrative intricately weaves myths, customs, and the rural environment into the lives of the two main characters, Visenuo and Atuonuo. Furthermore, this study investigates how the text situates itself in a pre-Christian era prior to the British arrival and subsequent evangelical missions. The objective is to comprehend the significant role of memory in perpetuating and constructing the identity of a generation haunted by a turbulent history.
