Abstract
The Research entitles the analysis of the substantial text of Sorayya Khan, “Five Queen's Road” which will not only give the novel a different dimension to study except the pain, memory and war but it will also question the authority of the writer as single or original author. It will underline the writer's pastime of past time which leads them to the exclusive creation of a text while shedding its light upon Post-Modern theory; Historiographic Metafiction. The thesis unfolds the text which is more than a fiction and less than the actual reality by the application of these particular features of the theory; Intertextuality and Ironic Parody. It also anticipates to present the novel with the diverse dimension which does not include the study of basic themes and ideas but it deals with the process how these universal themes of Partition and shattered hopes are displayed through the distinctive style of Sorayya Khan. As a whole, the study provides the realm to know about the facts of historic past with the idiosyncratic mouthpiece which clearly signifies the creativity.
