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!'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003eChitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an award-winning and bestselling author, poet, activist and teacher of writing.
