About this listen
The Ramayana, one of the world's greatest epics, is also a tragic love story. In this brilliant retelling, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni places Sita at the center of the novel: This is Sita's version. The Forest of Enchantments is also a very human story of some of the other women in the epic, often misunderstood and relegated to the margins: Kaikeyi, Surpanakha, Mandodari. A powerful comment on duty, betrayal, infidelity, and honor, it is also about women's struggle to retain autonomy in a world that privileges men, as Chitra transforms an ancient story into a gripping, contemporary battle of wills. While the Ramayana resonates even today, she makes it more relevant than ever, in the underlying questions in the novel: How should women be treated by their loved ones? What are their rights in a relationship? When does a woman need to stand up and say, "Enough!"?

the story I've been craving
I loved the narrators way of bringing this story to life. I was completely hooked. I enjoyed hearing this classic story from Sita's own perspective. I could feel all the love and pain that she experienced as I listened on.
Overall, this was a beautiful and dreamy telling of a tragic love story. Everything I could have hoped for.

Narration is not enough
Need written text alongside narration. Its not enough to listen alone. Some accents words pronunciations differ. So we need texts in audible.
