And once the truth struck her she sought help from Krishna to get rid of her guilt. Krishna became Kunti’s moral guardian, a conversation began, from which emerged fascinating tales of women in mythology. In this brilliant retelling, Kunti is placed at the centre of the novel and running parallel to her universe are the stories of Aditi and diti, the primordial mothers, the rebellious soorpanakha, the independent Sanjana and Tara, Trendsetters such as anusuya, intrigues of kaikeyee and ka I ka SI, the helpless Gandhi, the self-sacrificing Devaki's and the selfless Yashoda. These are the stories of resolve, exploits, revenge, sacrifice and affectionate together they give us a deeper understanding of the legendary women in India.
