That Woman You See  (English, Paperback, Sujata Parashar)

The book attempts to explore the heart and mind of the modern Indian woman, who is tired of suppressing her true nature, dreams and desires (In the largely patriarchal society) and wishes to express herself and do her own thing even at the cost of appearing odd and unconventional in front of her family and society at large. The flavour of each story is different. And the author has experimented with narrative style and form. The themes in the book include: humour, pathos, love, infidelity, arranged marriage, colour bias, hope and joy. Giving it a whole new twist, the collection ends with a poem titled - 'That woman you see,' which is also the title of the book and gives out a brief description of the collection.
