Dr. Krishna Saksena is a well-known author of unbound name and fame. She has written a number of books which include novels, stories & essays. Her works have a unique blend of modernity with tradition. Her language is too simple, her style attractive and contents are dealt with ease and sharpness. She offers to her readers difficult problems solved in an easy and convincing way. The three generations that she takes up are presented in the form of a critical story looking to the interest of the reader. The author has lived a long life of ninety years. She had been witnessing the three generations in her life and found a great difference between the three. If the first was too strict and severe in clinging hard to traditions, the second had softened down to new values of love and helpfulness. In a way it was a beautiful world of togetherness. But this world soon dwindles into a world of selfishness and deceit. Importance of money rules the world. Cutting the throat and living a life of outward show and grand style is the fashion of the day. All this and much more are developed in a story form. Events are developed in a powerful manner that makes the novel both real and revealing.
