Zohra

By Zeenuth Futehally

Set in Hyderabad in the first half of the twentieth century, Zohra is the story of an upper-class Muslim woman who is compelled to set aside her poetry and painting for an arranged marriage. Caught between duty, propriety, and decorum on the one hand, and an intense need for self expression on the other, Zohra hurtles towards a resolution, which is both tragic and overwhelming. This book will interest general readers of fiction as well as students and scholars of postcolonial writing, gender studies, and modern Indian history.
