Abstract
This review paper examines how women narratives are presented in the fiction of Shauna Singh Baldwin in terms of narrative voice, structure, the use of language, imagery, and symbolism as well as the use of female centered characters. The oeuvre of Baldwin puts female voices to the forefront by using first and third person narration, internal monologue, non-linear plot, and culturally integrated language expressions. The paper emphasizes the use of metaphor, simile, and a multilingual vocabulary to enhance her narration and to add extra layers of description of the inner world of women. It also explores the growth of her women characters such as Satya, Roop, Noor, Anu, and Damini as people who are struggling with identity, memory and personal issues in social and cultural contexts. In this analysis, the work identifies Baldwin as an important figure in modern literature, re-establishing the act of storytelling as a means of self-expression and agency among women.
