A beautifully reimagined retelling of the ancient Indian epic Ramayana by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Narrated from the perspective of Sita, the novel gives voice to one of mythology's most iconic women. It traces Sita's life from her childhood in Mithila through her marriage to Rama, exile in the forest, abduction by Ravana, and her ultimate quest for dignity, strength, and selfhood. Blending mythology with literary fiction, the novel offers a fresh, emotionally rich, and empowering interpretation of a timeless story.
