Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The youngest in a large but indifferent family, Shaman is a lonely child who convinces herself that she is unlovable. Her adolescent fears and desires grow even as she does: from unruly child to diffident student leader, then idealistic school principal, and finally bitter wife to an Irish Army Captain with whom she a staunch nationalist is fundamentally incompatible. Although able to form some deep friendships, Shaman s sexual and romantic passion remains unfulfilled, deeply impacting her sense of self. The social mirrors the personal, and as her beloved Hindustan struggles towards independence, so Shaman too gropes for some unifying narrative that will help her make sense of an unhappy life. In The Crooked Line, Ismat Chughtai reveals the core of the female psyche. She exposes all in this rich and powerful novel, a triumph of Urdu literature. (jacket). Seller Inventory # 129938
