In her novels, Desai portrays the neurotic mind of her women who encounter afflictions and in their marital and domestic life. Anita Desai is one of those few Indian novelists who represent the welcome 'creative release of the feminine sensibility' which began to emerge perceptibly on the literary horizon after the second world war. She tries to introduce a neo- psychological vein and projects a sensibility generally not encountered with other Indo-Anglican writers of fiction through the art of characterization which is the focus of this paper.
