This paper attempts an analysis of Manju Kapur’s Difficult Daughters from the perspective of mother-daughter relationships. Starting from the assumption that the mother plays a crucial part in socialising children into traditional gender roles, I will focus on family relations and women’s quest for identity in an Indian society set against the backdrop of Partition.
