A collection of five short stories and a novella by three-time Maharashtra State Award winner for literature, Of Closures and New Beginnings explores the struggles of the modern urban Indian woman to assert her individuality amidst societal pressures and expectations. The stories address her predicament as she makes choices of career versus family life, of freedom versus bonds that tie her down, of relationships that are nameless, yet important to her. Saniya s characters sharply etched, honest and startlingly real compel you to ponder their decisions in their quest to find themselves.
