The present book gives glimpses of her fictional corpus through different perspectives. It is the largest and the most comprehensive attempt yet made to probe the similarity and diversity of her writings. Bapsi Sidhwa, now settled in the U.S.A., is undoubtedly Parsi-Punjabi-Pakistan’s best known and the most successful English language novelist. It shows context of cultural exploration through her fiction in the Indian subcontinent. She is universal because of her first-hand experience, witty analyses, a sense of attachment and shrewd observations of human behaviour. It portrays the quandary of woman in relation to herself and her destiny. All her works centre around the dictum art must have socio- cultural purpose. Yet in our so proudly described modern culture, the physically modernized man has not completely been free from the patriarchal complex of creating pressures for woman. Sidhwa in her novels explores the various roles of culture. The present book is an attempt to explore a great woman writer through her fictional world.
