'Gloriously provocative' Kamila Shamsie, from the introduction
Lifting the Veil is a bold, witty and irreverent collection of writing from India's most controversial and celebrated feminist writer. This remarkable book celebrates life in all its complexities: from stories of women who seize their slim opportunities for freedom in a patriarchal world, to eye-opening accounts of the author's own extraordinary life, including the obscenity charges she faced for pieces in this book.
Wickedly funny and unflinchingly honest, Lifting the Veil explores the power of female sexuality while slyly mocking the subtle tyrannies of middle-class life. These are miniature masterpieces from a rare and radical storyteller, born years ahead of her time.
