摘要：The deep-rooted agonised psyche of womanhood was brought to the lime–light by Anita Desai, in her literary blooms. Especially in married women, the transplantation takes place on three levels viz: physical, mental and spiritual. They are torn between the memories of the past and the realities of the present. With the boom of an unpleasant and an unacceptable situation, nostalgic feelings get stirred up. There is a pattern, which frames her novel with the conflict between manwoman relationships that inevitably leads to alienation. Indu Bhadran says, “Her main concern is with the psychic reverberations of the characters who are caught in an existential anguish, obsessed with the past memories and nostalgic feelings, shunning reality, struggling to cope with a society in transition and terribly alienated” (Sinha 106).
