The story follows Kunti, a young woman navigating the challenges of her traditional upbringing while seeking her own path. Dasgupta's writing is lyrical and evocative, immersing readers in Kunti's emotional journey. The character development is strong, particularly in Kunti, whose struggles resonate deeply with those facing similar dilemmas. 

The book deftly addresses themes of gender roles and the sacrifices women often make for family and society. The cultural insights provide a rich backdrop, enhancing the story's depth. 

Overall, it’s a beautifully crafted narrative about motherhood, sacrifice, and the unspoken strength of a woman in a mythological context.
