Never have I ever read a mythology that felt so close to my heart until this book happened. Ahalya whose husband Gautam curses her for committing a sin by being in a relationship with Indra is the first in the Sati series retelling the Indian mythology in a feminist context. There's more to the blatant accusation, of course, as always. I have known and read about other powerful women but I had no idea who Ahalya was. I love her so much after this book. We know how women's pureness was worshipped and how they were dragged down if they chose to be themselves. They were the izzat of their husbands and not their own. Okay, yes, we still are but it was way worse back then. I should thank the author @koraldasgupta for making me completely fall in love with Ahalya. Oh God! I am so happy that @panmacmillanindia chose to send me this book. The power in the thoughts of Ahalya blew my mind and it was so refreshing to get to know her. There is definitely a magic in Koral's writing. Ah, just pick this book up even if you don't like mythology. I am going to treasure this.
