She specializes in the aesthetics of modern British fiction and has added to the corpus of Iris Murdoch’s criticism with her first book, The Novels of Iris Murdoch, which was published in 2009. She is an associate editor, Literary Voice. Odyssey of Love is her second attempt wherein she treats metaphysics, the nature of self, being, existence, time, and space as the ultimate underlying principles of life and reflects how they steer and guide mankind towards morality. She explores the attempts of man, which he makes for self-perfection, and discovers the beauty of the human soul and magic of love that characterizes his life. She feels self-surrender in love can lead to ultimate and unlimited reality. She endorses Murdoch by saying that it’s only through the celebration of love and freedom that we can understand the ‘otherness’ of other human beings.view less
