"Astha has everything an educated, middle-class Delhi woman could ask for--children, a dutiful loving husband, and comfortable surroundings. When she embarks on a powerfully physical relationship with a much younger woman, she risks losing the acquisitions of her conventional marriage.

A Married Woman is the story of an artist whose canvas challenges the constraints of middle-class existence. A beautifully honest and seductive story of love, set at a time of political and religious upheaval, A Married Woman is for anyone who has known life's responsibilities."
