Despite her relative youth and elegance, she is resigned to theregimented loneliness of her life, until a chance meeting with the charismatic Neel.Then, long-thwarted desires uncurl and the shackles she has accepted suddenly beginto seem unbearable. But the world around her is still unchanged, and independencestill causes scandal...In spare, evocative prose, Fifty-five Pillars, Red Walls skilfully explores the physical, mental and social paradigms which locked so many women into narrow ideals, asthey still do.
