Kavita Kane

    Diese Autorin, die nach über zwei Jahrzehnten im Journalismus einen postgradualen Abschluss in Anglistik und Massenkommunikation erworben hat, widmete sich ganz dem Schreiben. Ihre Werke tauchen tief in indische Epen und Mythologien ein, um weniger bekannte weibliche Figuren neu zu entdecken und neu zu bewerten. Mit einem Stil, der sowohl filmisch als auch theatralisch ist, erweckt sie diese Charaktere mit fesselnder Dringlichkeit zum Leben und bietet neue Perspektiven auf ihre Motivationen und Schicksale.

      From the bestselling author of Karna's Wife, comes this book about Urmila, Sita's sister and the neglected wife of Lakshman, and one of the most overlooked characters in the Ramayana. As Sita prepares to go into exile, her younger sisters stay back at the doomed palace of Ayodhya, their smiles, hope and joy wiped away in a single stroke. And through the tears and the tragedy one woman of immense strength and conviction stands apart-Urmila, whose husband, Lakshman, has chosen to accompany his brother Ram to the forest rather than stay with his bride. She could have insisted on joining Lakshman, as did Sita with Ram. But she did not. Why did she agree to be left behind in the palace, waiting for her husband for fourteen painfully long years?
