The modern Indian fiction writers focus on the contemporary issues in their works. Especially their female characters show a tremendous change. Manju Kapur, in her fourth novel “The Immigrant” has raised the issue of husband wife relations, deception arising out of loneliness and boredom and revelation of it. She describes how Nina’s life in India is and how much change takes place in her when she marries an NRI and shifts to an altogether alien land. The problems she faces to settle there and adapting to a different society is shown in a mesmerising way. The loneliness and boredom from which she suffers becomes the chief cause of the tension in their conjugal life which culminates in infidelity and then separation. What she feels and decides when she comes to know of Ananda’s extramarital relations is also shown. This is also very strange that she is also having illicit relation with her classmate Anton but it is not revealed to Ananda. The cause behind this might be that the novelist sees at the things only from a female point of view.
