She falters but along it she struggles on, in the process discovering the lightwithin herself. She cries, but there are moments when you the reader may realise, a bit latethough, that you too had cried with her the spell of the narrative having obliged you toidentify with her predicament.Indeed, the novel unfolds before us the stark realism in its several dimensions. We meetcharacters that are familiar, yet at a sudden turn of denouement they reveal their unsuspected faces; we come across situations that are not unknown to us, but then theyreveal a significance that reminds us alas how little we know of "mice and men"! Shakuntala' daughter, Bharati, becomes the symbol of the protagonist's growing courage and will.
