About this book
This is the story of the chief 'Bad Girl' of the Hindu epic the 'Ramayana.' imaginative and well-written, it is a defiantly feminist view of the start of the myth, and the forces that drove her to her present situation as an outcast, hated by the generations that follow. A little too long, especially the midsection, and rather marred by the use of magic to establish bonds and control minds, but on whole much better than the usual run-of-the-mill mythological recreation of obscure women as first person principals.
And then, in a mythological setting which has gods, demons, ogres and monkeys in the mix, one cannot seriously object to a little magic an mind-control!
