Climbing the Stairs
''Climbing the Stairs'' is a young-adult novel written by Padma Venkatraman. It was published on May 1, 2008 by Penguin USA. The novel depicts fifteen-year-old Vidya, who is coming of age in a tumultuous time as her native India struggles for independence and the world battles in World War II. When her father suffers brain damage during an Indian independence protest, Vidya is forced to relocate with her family from Bombay to her paternal grandfather’s traditional home in Madras. In this new home, Vidya fights the subservient role assigned to her as a woman and finds sanctuary in the men’s library where she studies and dreams of freedom and college.〔Venkatraman, Padma (2008). ''Climbing the Stairs''. NY: Penguin Group. 243 pages.〕
