Kavita Kane Knihy

Táto autorka, ktorá po viac ako dvoch desaťročiach v žurnalistike získala magisterský titul z anglickej literatúry a masovej komunikácie, sa rozhodla venovať písaniu na plný úväzok. Jej diela sa ponárajú do hĺbok indických eposov a mytológie, aby znovuobjavila a prehodnotila menej známe ženské postavy. Prostredníctvom svojho prístupu, ktorý je filmový aj divadelný, oživuje tieto postavy s podmanivou naliehavosťou a novým pohľadom na ich motivácie a osudy.

From the bestselling author of Karna's Wife, comes this book about Urmila, Sita's sister and the neglected wife of Lakshman, and one of the most overlooked characters in the Ramayana. As Sita prepares to go into exile, her younger sisters stay back at the doomed palace of Ayodhya, their smiles, hope and joy wiped away in a single stroke. And through the tears and the tragedy one woman of immense strength and conviction stands apart-Urmila, whose husband, Lakshman, has chosen to accompany his brother Ram to the forest rather than stay with his bride. She could have insisted on joining Lakshman, as did Sita with Ram. But she did not. Why did she agree to be left behind in the palace, waiting for her husband for fourteen painfully long years?
