The Forest of Enchantments
| The Ramayana, one of the world s greatest epics, is also a tragic love story. In this brilliant retelling, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni places Sita at the centre of the novel: this is Sita s version. The Forest of Enchantments is also a very human story of some of the other women in the epic, often misunderstood and relegated to the margins: Kaikeyi, Surpanakha, Mandodari. A powerful comment on duty, betrayal, infidelity and honour, it is also about women s struggle to retain autonomy in a world that privileges men, as Chitra transforms an ancient story into a gripping, contemporary battle of wills. While the Ramayana resonates even today, she makes it more relevant than ever, in the underlying questions in the novel: How should women be treated by their loved ones? What are their rights in a relationship? When does a woman need to stand up and say, Enough! Product Details Format: Paperback | 372 pages Language: English ISBN: 9789353573577 Publisher: HarperCollins India Publication date: 31 Oct 2019 Category: Fiction Reading age : 18+ years Author: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni Dimensions: 14.0 x 3.0 x 21.5 cm Weight: 356 g |
