About Author
"The Palace of Illusions" is a captivating retelling of the ancient Indian epic, Mahabharata, through the eyes of its unsung heroine, Panchaali. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni weaves a mesmerizing narrative filled with palace intrigue, love, and betrayal. Her lyrical prose and rich character development breathe new life into familiar legends, offering a fresh perspective that resonates with both myth enthusiasts and new readers alike.
Wow! This book is just fantastic. I couldn’t put it down. Draupadi’s character is everything- strong, beautiful but also flawed. Her’s and Krishna’s relationship one of the most beautifully described relationship. Must read.
It's beautifully written. There's humour, emotion, happiness. Anyone who wants to know about the Epic Mahabharata and the emotions of Draupadi can read this book.
