A review by ritukarthik
The Liberation of Sita by Volga
5.0
Rating is 3.5.
It's a well-translated book, though sometimes it feels too simplistic. And that's the only reason this book is getting a 3.5 instead of a 4 rating.
You need to be well versed with the Ramayan to read this book. It is a retelling of the Ramayan from a feminist perspective and it depicts women characters strongly. It is an important book that talks about emotional detachment from society, from one's self, from family and the many roles, we play in it; wife, mother, daughter-in-law etc. She has an identity of her own which is lost while playing the roles expected of her.
Simple yet powerful read.
