This is one of those books which gives me a sense of pain again and again when I think about it.The book stays in the framework of the original Vyasa Mahabharata and gives a very emotional and factual episode on the the life of mighty Karna from the point of view of Draupadi.The story begins with the nasty attitude towards Karna as many people have and later on evolves through series of realisations and tells us what Karna's life actually was.Being a person who adores Karna since my childhood,I found justice for him in the book.Tge way the author has depicted the very emotional phases of Karna's life,his sacrifices made me literally cry during the later phase Of the book.Do read this book.It can quench your thirst for a thought provoking reading...
