What is the author's style in Clear Light of Day by Anita Desai?

The story is told entirely in third person, by an omniscient narrator. Each, section, however, concentrates on a specific character and takes place in a different time period.

Anita Desai uses language to her advantage, providing her readers with a great deal of imagery, extremely colorful language, and recurring themes to emphasize the development of her characters. Her vivid descriptions provide her readers with a clear picture of her native country of India, where the story takes place, and also clearly portrays the setting and, most importantly, her characters.
