Anita Desai is one of the leading Indian women novelists writing in English most of the themes found in her novels are the problems of alienation, immigration, marital disharmony, and so on. In Voices in the City Anita Desai portrays how people, especially the poor, are forced to lose their moral values because of money which is indispensable to lead a life. Thus society makes a lot of sudden changes. Voices in the City was published in 1965. Desai’s protagonists are basically tragic and they fail indefatigably. They are psychologically disturbed, moody, self-absorbed, and confused in their manner and disjointed expressions. They are faced with an aggressive social environment and they fall into a state of passiveness. They share their experience and perceptions about life and try to search for the real meaning of life. The characters live a lonesome life and love privacy. The story of the novel is set in the city of Calcutta, India, and represents Calcutta as a place for bohemians. The story is about three siblings, Monisha, Nirod, and Amla.
