Description
Bye-Bye Blackbird – Anita Desai , By – Prem Sagar, ISBN Code –
NUMBER OF PAGES – 136
Bye-Bye Blackbird is the best of Anita Desai’s novels—it got Sahitya Academy award for her. Students are advised to read this novel as an attempt to exhort the Indians living in England to behave decently, to acquit them honorably, ambassadors of Indian culture as they are. Adit and his friends leave a taste of bitterness in the mind of Sarah’s mother by their ribaldry. Swami Binodanand and the musician also get unsavory remarks.
