SITA’S SISTER

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.
