A house in the middle of the hills with a love seat next to a french window which is overlooking the valley with twisted roads on one side and the other side a lovely backyard where I can grow my own veggies and can see snow clad mountains as far as the sight goes… where I can relax with a cup of tea in my front garden lined up with all the mountain flowers and in the evening take the walk up the waterfall that runs close by… so maya will u build me that?
Long Long ago I had read this review at Jai’s blog to sufficiently get interested in the book but somewhere along the road totally forgot about it, then I read Goofy write about it and I remembered that this was a book in to read list too and I hopped to the book store without any delay to buy it, yeah I am like that a little crazy 🙂 but then again kept it away for sometime… and I finally did pick it up sometime ago and I totally fell in love with it…
The story I am totally in love with “Mahabhrata” from the point of view of one the strongest women in the hindu mythology Drupadi, infact a epic from the point of the view of any women for that matter 🙂 I read the book like a maniac… reading it when I was eating, trying to sleep.. the only time I probably kept the book down was when Ojas shouted and screamed at my head for attention…. Simply loved the book
Infact I can safely say that this is the BEST BOOK I READ IN 2009
Incase u guys are wondering why did I start the post like that, its the answer to question Itchy asked here in her review of the book (Itchy I didnt comment then because I was reading the book then)
PS: Adding the review done by MadMomma which is closet to what I think just so much better 🙂

oh even I read and loved the book 🙂 good to hear you liked it too!
🙂 same pinch
What a coincidence! I can say too that its the best book I read in 2009. Its simply awesome and I feel about the protagonist the same way as you do. In fact while reading the book, I was living in those times, with her and it felt odd listening to the daily chatter and reconnect with the real world around. I simply loved the way Chitra Divakaruni brought the character to life.
I agree I just loved the book….and yes it transported u back there
I am now dying to read it! It sounds a very interesting read. I have just one book of hers and loved it – hoping to lay my hands on this soon.
u know smith I was hesitant to pick up this because I didnt really like Mistress of Spices may be because I saw that horrid ash movie first but this was mind blowing… which one have u read?
Will read it too, Mon. Going book-shopping tomorrow.
Do read it I have a feeling u will like it
I liked the book – a refreshingly new perspective…
absolutely brought even more life to the already interesting tale
I read this book ad promptly picked up DIvakaruni’s other novels! But I liked this one the best. Awesome perspective, me thinks.
yeah I had that too in my mind…. 🙂
