the palace of illusions by chitra banerjee

And for the very first time, I read a book on kindle which is a very new experience for me. I learned many things from this book and am very grateful to the author for writing such a great book. The author’s way of conveying the story was very attractive to me and the author’s perspective is very different which paved the way for the readers to have a better vision of the world today. Right from the beginning, the story was very gripping that will never let you put down the book until you complete it. It is mind-blowing to read such scripts! MOST I LIKED ABOUT THE BOOK But what I felt is that Draupadi without even entering the battlefront had waged a difficult war, her whole life to gain everything. Till now we have read many stories where men wage war. And I felt Draupadi as a heroic and inspiring woman. In this book, Draupadi speaks about the hardship she faced in her entire life right from her birth, childhood, love, marriage, the role of queen, motherhood, till her last journey in all circumstances she fought with such courage. The epic Mahabharatham and the palace of illusion have answered my question through Draupadi and Lord Krishna’s friendship! I always have an unanswered question pondering in my mind whether a male and female can be friends forever. The way the author portrayed these two relationships makes every girl envy Draupadi’s life.

In this book, there are some things that lead the readers like stars in a moonless night such as the bond between Draupadi and her brother Dhrishtadyumna and the bond between Draupadi and Lord Krishna. My kindle version of The Palace of Illusions. “Unknown is always more fascinating than the known.” So I started searching for some facts, stories about Draupadi and landed in this book. Eventually, I started reading more facts about the Pandavas, the Kauravas, Lord Krishna and when I came across Draupadi she appeared to me as an unknown. So, if you, readers have read my previous review blogs you might know that I have reviewed the book called ‘ SHAGUNI MASTER OF GAMES’ that had slightly triggered me to dig deep into our 5000 years (years maybe or may not be true) old epic Mahabharatam.

This book is the story of Mahabharat in the voice of Draupadi, the heroine of the epic. The palace of illusions written by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
