The Quilt tells the story of a neglected housewife. Left on her own and treated like a furniture at home, she longs for her husband and his attention. In the course of time, she develops a relationship with her chambermaid.
Her husband, the Nawab Sahib has his eyes on one of his students and he goes for ‘one very strange pursuit’
The Quilt was known as a very early story of Indian literature for its depiction of homosexuality and the state of marriage with its various veils and curtains which are more for the show of society.
