Kavita Kané’s narrative not only reimagines the Mahabharata from a feminist perspective but also humanizes the characters, providing depth and nuance to their stories. Through Uruvi’s voice, the novel explores themes of caste discrimination, societal expectations, and the personal cost of choosing love over convention. “Karna’s Wife” stands as a testament to Kané’s storytelling prowess, blending mythology and fiction to offer readers a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that goes beyond the familiar contours of the Mahabharata, giving voice to a character often relegated to the sidelines in the epic.
