Description

One of the finest epics ever written, The Ramayana, is also a tragic love story. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's masterful reworking places Sita at the centre of the story; this is Sita's interpretation. The Forest of Enchantments also tells the incredibly personal stories of some of the other women in the epic who are frequently marginalised and misunderstood, like Kaikeyi, Surpanakha, and Mandodari. It is also about women's struggle to maintain autonomy in a world that prioritises men, as Chitra transforms an old tale into an engrossing, modern battle of wills. It is a strong commentary on duty, treachery, infidelity, and honour. Even though the Ramayana is still relevant today, she makes it so by asking the following essential questions in her 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!'
