A Doll's House

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of British colonialism, the story follows Niru, a Bengali woman married to Tom, an English bureaucrat who views her as a mere object of admiration. As Niru grapples with a long-held secret that threatens her newfound sense of freedom, the narrative delves into complex themes of ownership, race, and gender politics. Tanika Gupta reinterprets Ibsen's classic play, providing a provocative female perspective that challenges traditional narratives and highlights the struggles of identity and autonomy.
