4.5

Excellent story telling in a way that not only feels like an honor to the culture and source material, but also makes it accessible and uplifting for outsiders. Kaikeyi truly represents what it means to be a woman that struggles with societal expectations. The author has completely done what she set out to do in researching then presenting the why’s and how’s of Kaikeyi’s decisions. So well done!
