'Khatijabai of Karmali Terrace', is not just the story of one woman, but of all of us, trapped in lives that are not our own. It tells the story of an orphan Khatija, who marries into the Karmali household. From then on we follow her exploits, her vying for most favoured position with her in-laws, the pressurising of her eldest son Aziz and her constant battles with sister in law Shiraz.
