Abstract: This paper attempts to expose the workings of patriarchy in subjugating women with reference to Sister of My Heart (1999) and The Vine of Desire (2003) authored by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. The paper traces the ups and downs in the lives of two distant cousins, Sudha and Anju. Their lives follow a circular pattern of union, separation and reunion. Divakaruni's Sister of my Heart and The Vine of Desire depict the coming of age of two sisters in a highly patriarchal society. Though there are several similarities between Sister of My Heart and The Vine of Desire, there is a great deal of stylistic variation between the two which merit serious study and analysis.
