Abstract :
Anita Desai's Where Shall We Go This Summer? (1975) dwells on the theme of incertitude, alienation and incommunication in married life. It is the alienation of a woman, a wife and a mother, an alienation conditioned by society and family. The childless Maya's angst in Cry, the Peacock is existential and psychic, but Sita's anguish in this novel is domestic and mundane.In Where Shall We Go This Summer? The central figure Sita’s predicament is similar to that of Maya in Cry, the Peacock and Monisha in Voices in the City. She is also obsessed with her loveless marriage with Raman. Sita is a married woman and has four children, but in the very picture of misery and dejection. She fells herself to be a prisoner in a house which offers her nothing but a crust of dull tedium, of hopeless disappointment. Her unhappiness in married life finds expression in feeling of contempt for the friends and colleagues of her husband.
