Overview
A feminist classic of Partition literature translated by Booker Prize-winning translator Daisy RockwellSet in the turbulent decade of the 1940s, The Women's Courtyard provides an inverted perspective on the Partition.Mastur’s novel gives expression to the preoccupations of the women in the courtyard, fighting different battles with loud voices.The novel follows a Muslim girl, Aliya, and her family, about and around the climax of the Independence struggle.While the national struggle rages on the street, Aliya, Aunty and the residents of the courtyard are tethered hopelessly to their own problems of life and death.The Women’s Courtyard is an experience in suffocation.Within the strict religious and social framework of a rigid Muslim family, there is a purdah between Aliya and the rest of the world.
