About this listen
The novel traces the princess Panchaali's life, beginning with her birth in fire and following her spirited balancing act as a woman with five husbands who have been cheated out of their father's kingdom. Panchaali is swept into their quest to reclaim their birthright, remaining at their side through years of exile and a terrible civil war involving all the important kings of India. Meanwhile, we never lose sight of her strategic duels with her mother-in-law, her complicated friendship with the enigmatic Krishna, or her secret attraction to the mysterious man who is her husbands' most dangerous enemy.

Emotional and complete
In addition to seeing Draupadi as the wife of Pandavas, we get to know her for the many roles she comes to play in Mahabharat. Her stories and her realisations throughout this book are eye-opening and intimate in nature.

Fast
The reading is quite fast, and the plot line a bit jumbled, so at times I had to rewind to understand where we got to a certain point in the plot.

Captivating
This book is always going to have a special place in my heart. Truly captivating, engaging and definitely a page turner. It’s like you are looking the story of Mahabharath unfold before you through the lens of Draupadi. Gives you a complete different perspective on the story of Mahabarath.
Fell in love with the author, instantly started reading all her other books.

Wow!
The way it is written and then the way it is recited.. somehow made me actually feel every single word happening. I have no words to explain how calming the voice of narrator was. 🥺
