व्यक्ति के गुह्यतम मनोवैज्ञानिक चरित्र-चित्रण के लिए सिद्धहस्त प्रख्यात लेखक भगवतीचरण वर्मा ने इस उपन्यास में शरीर की भूख से पीड़ित एक आधुनिक, लेकिन एक ऐसी असहाय नारी की करुण कहानी कही है जो अपने अन्‍तर के संघर्षों में दुनिया के सहारे सब गँवा बैठी। रेखा ने श्रद्धातिरेक से अपनी उम्र से कहीं बड़े उस व्यक्ति से विवाह कर लिया जिसे वह अपनी आत्मा तो समर्पित कर सकी, लेकिन जिसके प्रति उसका शरीर निष्ठावान नहीं रह सका।

‘एकाकीपन के सौ वर्ष’ की कहानी आपको विस्मित करती है; इसकी अतिरंजनाएँ आपको अवाक् और हास्य के आवेग में विह्वल छोड़ देती हैं; आप एक विराट स्मृति-गाथा के अतिमानवीय मायाजाल में धीरे-धीरे यथार्थ और वास्तविकता के कठोर पत्थरों पर पैर रखते हुए आगे बढ़ते हैं; और इस तरह मानव नियति के साथ बिंधे अनन्त अकेलेपन की एक सामूहिक गाथा के दूसरे छोर तक जाते हैं।

ज़िन्दगी और ज़िन्दादिली से भरा एक अलग क़िस्म का उपन्यास। उपन्यास के परम्परित मान्य ढाँचों के आगे प्रश्नचिह्न। ‘अस्सी’ काशीनाथ की भी पहचान रहा है और बनारस की भी।

‘‘मैं जन्मजात अभागिनी हूँ। स्त्री जाति का कलंक हूँ। परन्तु मैं निर्दोष हूँ, निष्पाप हूँ। मेरा दुर्भाग्य मेरा अपना नहीं है, मेरी जाति का है, जाति-परम्परा का है; हम पैदा ही इसलिए होते हैं कि कलंकित जीवन व्यतीत करें। जैसे मैं हूँ ऐसी ही मेरी माँ थी, परदादी थी, उनकी दादियाँ-परदादियाँ थीं। मैंने जन्म से ही राजसुख भोगा, राजमहल में पलकर मैं बड़ी हुई, रानी की भाँति मैंने अपना यौवन का शृंगार किया। रंगमहल में मेरा ही अदब चलता था। राजा दिन रात मुझे निहारता, कभी चंदा कहता, कभी चाँदनी। राजा मेरे चरण चूमता, मेरे माथे पर तनिक-सा बल पड़ते ही वह बदहवास हो जाता था।
