Namita Gokhale has emerged as a leading woman novelist on the Indian literary scene. She is also a founder co-director of Jaipur Literature Festival, along with the author William Dalrymple. She is a versatile writer with wide-ranging novels, a collection of short stories, and several works of non-fiction. Her debut novel Paro: Dreams of Passion was hailed as a modern classic, especially for her portrayal of seductress heroine Paro, the centre of the novel. The present study projects Namita Gokhale as a writer who deals with the diversity of women’s experiences and various issues concerning self and society. The book, it is hoped, will make a rich contribution to Indian English Literature and Women’s Studies.
