Diasporic Dilemma in the Fiction of Bharati Mukherjee

Description

Bharati Mukherjee is one of the major novelists of the Indian Diaspora. With her stark realism and unfiltered narration, she peeps into the lives of first-generation immigrants and brings to the surface their challenges, experiences, and emotions. The present book takes up her three novels—Wife, Jasmine, and The Tiger’s Daughter—and traces the diasporic dilemma in each. The book touches on the major themes of home, nostalgia, and belonging, and explores Mukherjee’s journey from being an expatriate to an immigrant.
