Index. The book is a pioneering endeavor to critically analyse the first five novels of the eminent Afro-American writer Gloria Naylor.

These are: The Women of Brewster Place (1982), Linden Hills (1985), Mama Day (1988), Bailey’s Cafe (1992). The Men of Brewster Place (1998) and Naylor has been a writer immersed absolutely in the African-American formal history of tradition and culture.

Her major concern is to reveal the female quest for identity and in her novels she explores a feminine mystique through a series of strong female characters. She treats woman as an individual and not in the accepted role assigned to her by the society.

Through this study efforts have also been made to critically evaluate the position and the picture of (less)

Romance blossoms between the two, the pen-friends exchange vows over letters, then spend the next fifteen years as a married couple without ever setting eyes on each other, until the intimacy of words is tested finally by the intimacy of life. Like 'The Japanese Wife', the other stories in this collection are also about residents and non-residents.

In 'Grateful Ganga', an American rock queen shares her love tunes with a Punjabi businessman even as she mourns her dead husband; in 'Snakecharmer', a retired Israeli American professor arrives in India with the intention of committing suicide, only to be saved by a snakecharmer's daughter. Father Tito, the emigre Yugoslav of Father Tito's Onion Rings, is haunted by the Holocaust as he intercedes between Hindu and Muslim riote The stories here are about unexpected love and accidental gifts; about finding oneself among strangers; about living elsewhere and living in one's dreams.
