Two women travel to India thanks to their feminist aspirations. The British Clarissa Hatfield is ambitious, but the American Emelia Sedley is genuinely interested in the emancipation of women. In India, they meet a couple, Rajni Kant and Vibha, in a dysfunctional relationship and try to empower the wife. This results in complications for Clarissa and Emelia. To make things more interesting, Emelia's ex-boyfriend, Neville, arrives from America just as she's beginning to fall in love with the Indian, Rajni Kant. The novel makes a distinction between genuine and fake feminism. The novel, said a reader, is the reverse of A PASSAGE TO INDIA. The white women who come to India are not disappointed by what this country can give them.
In this novel, humor and high seriousness take you through the literary tourism of India.
