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? From the bestselling author of Karna's Wife. The most detailed retelling of the story of the legendary Urmila, little known in mythology. A riveting combination of fact and fiction that will keep readers engrossed. In the same genre as other bestsellers like the Meluha series and Chanakya's Chant.

Autorenporträt
"Kavita Kané is a former journalist and the bestselling author of five books. She is considered a revolutionary force in Indian writing because she has brought in feminism where it is most needed- mythology. Her five novels are all based on women in Indian mythology: Karna's Wife (2013); Sita's Sister (2014), on Ramayana's most neglected character, Urmila; Menaka's Choice (2015), on the apsara, Menaka; Lanka's Princess (2016), on the female antagonist in the Ramayana, Surpanakha; and The Fisher Queen's Dynasty (2017) on Satyavati, the grand matriarch in the Mahabharata. After a career of over two decades in Magna and DNA, Kavita quit her job as assistant editor of The Times of India to devote herself to writing novels full-time. With a postgraduate degree in English literature as well as in journalism and mass communication, the only skill she has, she confesses, is writing. Passionate about theatre, cinema and art, she is also a columnist, a screenplay writer and a motivational speaker, having given several talks all across the country in educational and research institutes, corporate and management fora and literary festivals. Born in Mumbai, with a childhood spent largely in Patna and Delhi, she currently lives in Punewith her mariner husband, Prakash, their two daughters, Kimaya and Amiya, two dogs Chic andBeau, and Cotton, the uncurious cat."
