Description

The Forest of Enchantments is a retelling of the Ramayana from the perspective of Sita, with Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni placing her at the centre of the novel. This is a story about the women who are often misunderstood and relegated to the margins of the epic, including Kaikeyi, Surpanakha, and Mandodari.

This powerful retelling explores the themes of duty, betrayal, infidelity, and honour, and asks fundamental questions about the treatment of women in relationships and the exercise of their rights. Divakaruni transforms an ancient story into a gripping and contemporary battle of wills, making the Ramayana more relevant than ever.

By giving voice to these often-overlooked characters, Divakaruni sheds new light on the Ramayana and its enduring relevance to our lives today.
