Abstract

Anita Desai is one of the foremost Indian women writers of fiction in English who covers a wide span of life and a wide variety of subjects in her writings. She has shown a marked interest in the short story as a form of artistic expression and exploration. In a few of her stories she explores love in a very sensitive and sublime level. This paper is an attempt to discuss how Desai presents “Love” in various forms in three of her stories.
