Quest is a sensitive probe in inter-relationships. It is an effort to unravel the concentric upheavals in inter-relationships caused by an imbalance in the pivotal husband-wife bond. The book deals with a wife"s dilemma when she finds out after eight years of marriage and a child that her husband has a homosexual relationship with his best friend.Issues relating to sexuality are social taboos that remain unspoken, untouched. A cumulative social silence leads to irrational fears born out of ignorance, individual awkwardness transforms into collective prejudices and biases. Homosexuality is one such theme, which is been dealt with in the book. Homosexuality is considered to be an indecent, unnatural deviation from what is normal". It is declared to be immoral, hence illegal. This homophobia instigates hatred and violence.Quest is about Sai, the protagonist of the book, and her quest to finding a solution for herself, which epitomizes complexities of man-woman relationship.
The Book is an interwoven emotional fabric of different hues between husband-wife, mother-daughter, father-son, friends and their individual quest to regains their equilibrium and face life positively. The Book makes us think long and hard about respecting the rich diversity of identities and alternative ways of being, rather than unleashing ostracism and condemnation and that we will not just tolerate, but accept differences and ultimately that we will offer not pity or mercy but empathy.
