First Year in College The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Divakaruni
Chitra’s latest novel, The Palace of Illusions takes readers back to the time of the Indian epic The Mahabharat—a time that is half-history, half-myth, and wholly magical. Through her narrator Panchaali, the wife of the legendary five Pandava brothers, Divakaruni gives us a rare feminist interpretation of an epic story.
