Where Shall We Go This Summer ?”, an illustrious novel by Anita Desai is a story of an oppressed mind. Like all her earlier novels this particular novel also illustrates the tense nesses between family members and the loneliness, isolation and alienation of the middle-class women, Sita , the female protagonist of the story. The central character Sita in this novel Where Shall We Go This Summer ? feeling the frustration of the suffocative four walls is seen taking refuge from her marriage at the utopian land of a magic island. Pregnant with her fifth child, Sita therefore desperately takes refuge from the mundane realities of her marriage to the island, which happens to be the homestead of her deceased father. It is when Sita feels that she is again pregnant for the fifth time then the irritations and grittiness of life becomes somewhat heavy to bear for her. She makes an attempt to shut down emotionally and isolate herself from the daily chores. It is then she feels the dire need to fade far away and dissolve to the utopian land, which is illustrated here as the island and the dwelling place of her dead father. The catastrophe of the story lies where Sita is seen perturbed with the very idea of bringing another child, as it is indeed something more than what she can handle. the story of escapism, the saga of melancholy... Anita Desai`s Where shall we go this summer is indeed a great work.

i have read this book. especially that part where Sita desperately thinks that its better to let the child be at the womb eternally .. let just once and for ever so no to all the grittiness of life .. its just awesome. Only a female writer can depict the mazes of the female mind like this.
