The Research Paper aims to explore the unifying elements of storytelling in The Forty Rules of Love and Three Daughters of Eve by the author, Elif Shafak in the light of Postmodernism. The novels depict the elements of mini-narratives, pluralism, multiplicity and polyphony. The Forty Rules of Love juxtaposes two centuries and blends them, whereas, Three Daughters of Eve juxtaposes two continents. The two novels talk about the cultural, ethnical, religious and individual differences which are the major cause of disagreements and conflicts between people. This research paper focuses on analysing the multiple narratives of the marginalized characters belonging to the minority groups.
