Book Description
Description First published in 1961, Usha Priyamvada's debut novel Pachpan Khambe, Laal Deewaarein is located within the boundaries of an all-women's college in Delhi. Behind its walls is Sushma Sharma-lecturer, warden, single, and sole provider for her large family. Despite her relative youth and elegance, she is resigned to the regimented loneliness of her life, until a chance meeting with the charismatic Neel. Then, long-thwarted desires uncurl and the shackles she has accepted suddenly begin to seem unbearable. But the world around her is still unchanged, and independence still causes scandal... In spare, evocative prose, Fifty-five Pillars, Red Walls skilfully explores the physical, mental and social paradigms which locked so many women into narrow ideals, as they still do.
