Abstract

Kiran Desai is one of the new women writers, who have enriched the genre of Indian English fiction. Kiran Desai however, does not confine herself to the expression of the feminine ethos but elaborates and expands her writing to include international and contemporary issues of immigration, displacement, class, alienation, etc. The many faces of Indian womanhood are represented in the novel through the various female characters. Identity is a comprehensive and complex term; often elusive and incomprehensible. History, culture, society, education, aspirations and relationships give a shape and meaning to the identity of an individual.
