Who, among the following women novelists, portrays daughter and young wife in her novels ?
Anita Desai
Anita Desai option is correct.
Among the Indian-English women novelists of the post-independence generation, Anita Desai is most consistently identified with the psychological portrait of the middle-class Indian woman in her overlapping roles as daughter within a patriarchal household and as young wife struggling with alienation inside marriage.
Novels such as Cry, the Peacock (1963), Voices in the City (1965), and Where Shall We Go This Summer? (1975) turn on precisely this configuration: Maya, Monisha and Sita are rendered through their interior consciousness as daughters shaped by fathers and as young wives estranged from husbands, in the mode Desai herself calls "the underlying tide of life."
Nayantara Sahgal's canvas is chiefly political and dynastic, Kamala Markandaya centres rural and diasporic dislocations, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Indian novels satirise expatriate encounters — none of them makes the daughter-and-young-wife dyad the sustained subject that Desai does.
