CONCLUSION
• Anita Nair is not like the usual contemporary Indian Novelist who writes for cheap
popularity by comprising with language and plot and most importantly , by managing
the depth of the theme according to the ‘Market Policies’.
• She writes because she has to and whether its her agenda behind a feminist fiction or
her character’s Enigma.
• Her novel may be problematic in terms of one- eye-sightedness at times.
• Though with the use of contemporary language she tries to connect with the
contemporary readers, that is still something which does not seem happening as it
happens with Chetan bhagat.
