Nature, Identity, and Artistic Freedom in Anuradha Roy’s “All the Lives We Never Lived”

Author(s): M Pavithra

Abstract:

Anuradha Roy’s “All the Lives We Never Lived” intricately weaves together themes of landscape, art, and personal freedom. The novel captures how identity and belonging are shaped by nature and artistic pursuit. This paper explores how Roy employs natural landscapes not only as a physical setting but also as a mirror of emotional states. Drawing comparisons with Arundhati Roy’s “The God of Small Things”, Kiran Desai’s “The Inheritance of Loss”, and E.M. Forster’s “A Passage to India”, Amitav Ghosh’s “The Hungry Tide” the study analyzes how colonial histories, personal quests, and ecological sensibilities converge to create a tapestry of human and environmental interdependence.
