What a fascinating book! Would recommend to fans of The Witch’s Heart, Ariadne, or other books that recenter classics around the women often forgotten or vilified in those original works.

I adored this book. I found myself unable to put it down. 
I love Indian mythology but this story and the way it has been structured and written adds so much to the story of Ramayan. It fills in the gaps so beautifully without altering the events of the mythology.
