Description
Behind The Walls Of A House In A North Indian Town A Whole World Thrives-Of The Joint Family, Their Attendants, Their Visitors. Three Generations Of Women And Their Men Live Different Strategies Of Adjustment And Achievement To Accommodate Or Challenge Patriarchy. They Seem To Fit In Recognized Frames, But What Are The Subtle Machinations Behind The Apparent Stereotypes? It Is That Which The Novel Uncovers, In A Tale Told In Deceptively Simple Terms, Using Smells, Sounds, Tastes And Flavours, Scenes And Tiny Signs And Incidents Of A Daily And Ordinary Existence To Build, Weave By Weave, A Rich And Layered Tapestry, Saying Always More Than Is Apparent. At The Centre Is Mai, The Mother, Seemingly Weak And Silent, But It Is She Who Holds Together The Subtle Patterns Of Relationships And Agencies And Quietly Carves Out A Life For Herself As Also For Those Around. Her New Age Children Are Obsessed With Rescuing Her From The Prison And Escaping Themselves; But As The Story Unfolds, Any Simplistic Notion Of Bondage And Freedom Goes For A Toss. Profound Stories Of Love And Loss Are Lightly Delivered.
