Ila Arab Mehta is an award-winning Gujarati author, perhaps most
noted for her explorations of feminist thinking. In this new
translation by Rita Kothari of her beautiful and skillfully crafted
novel Fence, we meet Fateema Lokhandwala, a young Muslim woman in
present-day Gujarat. Fateema lives in a divided world, where
religion and class split society. A member of the Muslim minority,
she struggles to carve out a place for herself, seeking her true
identity, and encountering triumph and tragedy along the way. Fence
is a powerful critique of the damage caused by Indian identity
politics. It is also a classic coming-of-age story and a lively,
yet tender, exploration by Mehta, a Hindu writer, of the dreams and
aspirations of her Muslim sisters.
