The Forest of Enchantments is a retelling of the Indian epic Ramayana from Sita’s perspective. Instead of focusing on Rama’s journey, this novel gives a voice to Sita — her emotions, struggles, strengths, and sacrifices.
It is a feminist reimagining where Sita is not just a dutiful wife but also a woman with her own desires, choices, and wisdom. The novel highlights her inner strength, resilience, and the personal cost she bears through her exile, kidnapping, trial by fire, and eventual abandonment.
