Ananya Pattanaik

Kunti - We all know as the mother of the Pandavas who without even looking asked Draupadi to be shared amongst the brothers. But what I didn't know was her strength, her stability and all the sacrifices life forced her to make. She played a role that she had no idea what it could lead to. She was burdened with the knowledge from both Surya Dev and Devraj Indra of the past, present and the future and maybe we do not the pressure of that but she didn't crumble under it... She rose and how! She did what she was supposed to and that's the reason she truly defines a Sati... Someone who is in search of the whole truth even after being burdened by consequences. This is my first read by Koral Dasgupta and I can say this with certainty that I am going to rush to finish the Sati Series now including the first book "Ahalya" If you love Mahabharat and the intertwined stories of all characters in that, do read this book.
