Sita's Ramayana by Samhita Arni

4.0

For a story where the main theme is the triumph of good over evil, Sita definitely got the short end of the stick. But I guess that's what happens when you hear the story from the woman's point of view. In other versions Rama always comes off looking squeaky clean, so this version certainly adds some perspective to the tale.

Found the adaptation of a traditional art form, Patua scroll paintings, to the graphic novel format intriguing. Wish there had been more info on the artist/tradition. Overall appreciated the mix of traditional & modern artwork and non-traditional storytelling voice. Will have to learn more about visual storytelling traditions in India.
