Daughter from a Wishing Tree by Sudha Murty

5.0

---

What is mythology? Mythology is a collection of myths or stories about culture, religion, and beliefs. The stories in mythology allow expanding the imagination. And this book is kind of one.
I am a big fan of the simple yet influential writing style of Sudha Murthy. I read many books about her, and every book holds a different charm.

About the book:
This is a book that holds the stories of 24 powerful women of our mythology, How, they sacrifice and fight to save humankind from the evils. The stories are about different forms of Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Parvati and many unheard names from the mythology.

My musings:
I just love the whole book. listing some which I liked the most:
1. There are many lessons hidden in between these simple stories which we should follow in daily life like how reacting without thinking in anger can cause bad consequences (Shankrahrya curse). We should think twice when we speak I anger or in adverse situations.
2. The writing style is simple and straightforward.
3. For me, this is a good learning book, as I learned many lesser-known stories about our mythology.
4. The beautiful art illustrations make this read interactive.
Overall, this is a magical book to read.
