it was amazing
bookshelves: india, bengali

A supremely well-written and well-researched historical novel set in the times of Gautam Buddha and king Bimbisara. Every character, major and minor, are well etched and with a proper arc. Women and their struggles are vividly portrayed. The religion and politics of the time are well covered and most of the philosophy is timeless. Feeling very enriched to know more about this period of Indian history. Thanks very very much to the writer.
