The Ramayana, one of the world's greatest epics, is also a tragic love story. In this brilliant retelling, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni places Sita at the centre of the novel: this is Sita's version. The Forest of Enchantments is also a very human story of some of the other women in the epic, often misunderstood and relegated to the margins: Kaikeyi, Surpanakha, Mandodari. A powerful comment on duty, betrayal, infidelity and honour, it is also about women's struggle to retain autonomy in a world that privileges men, as Chitra transforms an ancient story into a gripping, contemporary battle of wills. While the Ramayana resonates even today, she makes it more relevant than ever, in the underlying questions in the novel: How should women be treated by their loved ones? What are their rights in a relationship? When does a woman need to stand up and say, 'Enough!'

Left Enchanted!

Is a heartwarming , book that i couldn’t keep my hands off of , from the past few days ,until I finally finished it .
We have grown up, seeing Ramayana and the Hardships faced by SitaRam throughout their lives Except this version talks about the never ending complexities in “Sita’s” life . Indeed it is a “Sitayana”. Its glad to see how Effortlessly, the author has composed the intricacies of Ramayana , from the perspective of Sita , who furthermore ,doesn’t only focus on herself , rather turns around the camera towards other females and their lives in the epic.

One thing which really caught upon my attention was the thoughtfulness that the Author has provided to Each character in the epic.It perfectly showcases how far women had gone for love , infatuation and even Revenge , ending up , not only destroying their families , but themselves too.
