“Sita may have crossed the fire, but I was the one left to burn.” That’s not just a powerful line—it’s a haunting truth echoed by Urmila, the woman we never really read about. But in Sita’s Sister, Kavita Kané flips the spotlight, giving voice to a forgotten queen. And what a voice it is.
Urmila—wife of Lakshmana, sister of Sita, daughter of Mithila—is not a passive background figure. She’s fierce, deeply thoughtful, and achingly human. While Lakshmana leaves for the forest, she stays back. Alone. Waiting. Holding together a kingdom with nothing but her resilience and heartbreak.
This book doesn’t just retell mythology—it humanizes it. You feel every silence. Every unshed tear. And every unacknowledged sacrifice.
Kané’s writing is sharp yet poetic, modern yet faithful. You don’t need to be a mythology buff to get pulled in. If you’ve ever loved someone who walked away for a greater cause, this story will speak to you. Loudly.
And if you’re looking for a powerful feminist read? This hits the mark. Hard.
