The Palace of Illusions
By Chitra Banerjee DivakaruniPublisher Description
Taking us back to a time that is half history, half myth and wholly magical, bestselling author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni gives voice to Panchaali, the fire-born heroine of the Mahabharata, as she weaves a vibrant retelling of an ancient epic saga.
Married to five royal husbands who have been cheated out of their father's kingdom, Panchaali aids their quest to reclaim their birthright, remaining at their side through years of exile and a terrible civil war. But she cannot deny her complicated friendship with the enigmatic Krishna—or her secret attraction to the mysterious man who is her husbands' most dangerous enemy—as she is caught up in the ever-manipulating hands of fate.

Created about 11 hours ago“I loved this retelling of the epic of Mahabharata from the perspective of Panchaali, it gave the epic a human touch and made everything more relatable. I also really liked the love angle between Panchaali and Karna. This will definitely be one of the books i will remember forever and think of often”Ishi
