    Description

    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.

    About

    “Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen” is a historical fiction novel written by Kavita Kané, published in 2013. The book offers a unique perspective on the Mahabharata, one of the ancient Indian epics, by delving into the life of Uruvi, the lesser-known wife of the legendary warrior Karna. Uruvi, a princess of Pukeya, chooses Karna as her husband despite his lowly status as a charioteer’s son, challenging the societal norms of that time. The novel skillfully navigates the complexities of love, loyalty, and sacrifice as Uruvi becomes the outcast queen, facing the repercussions of her unconventional choice and the tragic fate that befalls Karna in the epic.
