Basumati is forced to choose between her traditional role as a housewife, and her responsibility towards the Panchayat that is accidentally thrust upon her. After spending her life as a spinster and devoting her life to work, Sister D’Souza is drawn to the warmth of family relationships, but for how long? Lallan is seduced by her enhanced standing in the village, only to realize it is taking her away from her real calling and work. Savitri lives an imaginary life as the famous courtesan Rai Praveen in her dreams, but when she plays her role in reality to save her village, she has to face rebuke and rejection.
In her short stories- ten of which are collected in this volume- she writes about the dilemmas, conflicts, joys, sorrows, dreams, hopes, and anxieties that women face throughout their lives. Her protagonists are ordinary women living in villages and small towns, who have to negotiate an extraordinary maze of challenges and opposition from the traditional mores of the society, but never let go of their hopes, aspirations, and desires.
