The present critical study takes up this haunting and consummate work of art and explores its various facets that have become hallmarks of Anita Desai's fiction over the years. Voices in the City has been assessed and analysed from every possible angle-textual, socio-economic and political, characterisation and the delineation of women folk. It is hoped that it will meet all the requirements of our students from the point of view of university examinations at the graduate and the post-graduate levels.
