Dance O’ Peacock

Dance O’ Peacock

by Aruna Jethwani


Description


"The novel opens up uncomfortable question about the biological and social, lack and love and reform and rebellion-to which there are no easy answer. Dance O' Peacock is a truly engaging account of a woman's search for love, meaning and calling a search for herself."

- Dr. Sharmila Rege, Director, KSP Woman's

Studies Center, University of Poona, Pune

"Dance O' Peacock is the story of Neelam, an  intelligent and independent woman. She Struggle hard to get rid of the oppressing tradition of taboos. To find solace and to build up inner strength, she put relationships at stake and rigorously strives for emotional and intellectual freedom; where she can have every right to nurture the weltanschauung of her own. Neelam's voice against  the tradition and history, that have thrown her into such a predicament, could be termed feminist."

- Dr. Khursheed Alam, Urdu writer
