Welcome to Litsy!

My second read by Kane. Another representation of a less-heard-about perspective (this time from the Mahabharata).

There were a few inspired reflections in this one, but on the whole, too repetitive. Kind of felt like I was listening to a record that was stuck on a never ending loop. It definitely got tiring after halfway.

This book strengthened my initial opinion about Kane being a mediocre writer. Not really bad, but not good either.

This beautifully crafted book, enfolds our social stigmas, prejudices and the biased opinions of people. There is a part where Uruvi (Karna‘s wife)
replies to Bhishma , “Perhaps we make too much of the differences between one person and the another. The best of us can be worse, and the worst of us can be good. Who can say? “ This one line made me admire the author and to self assess my thoughts. #Karna‘s wife #Historical-fiction

It's a tale of passionate love and loss between Karna and his wife Uruvi from The Mahabharata.
I have read other perspectives of Mahabharata from different authors and you can grasp so much from every book. This book overall is a good one, just a little sluggish in between. You would feel its a bit overstretched.
