In almost every aspect of women’s lives in Desai’s novels demonstrate how thegroups of women in India are entwined with one another. She engages with the middle-class Indian woman, who is representative of the great majority of Indian women, rather than fleeing the conventional world of Indian women. She has written a great deal on Indian women today and the challenges they encounter. She has also studied the obligations and responsibilities Indian women have to society and to themselves.
