    (International Journal of Scientific Development and Research (IJSDR), 2022-08) Ponnulexmi, V; Ambika, S
    The way in which, the concept of postcolonialism is understood depends to a greater extent colonialism on the particular narrative or explanatory scheme such as cultural, or theoretical and the various techniques employed by Rushdie to execute them.

These act of narration is crucial structural and thematic of the novel The Enchantress of Florence. Here the non-linear narrative is the main element, because it is a disjointed or disrupted narrative, out of chronological order is portrayed and the human memory is recalled by using the power of language.
