The Ramayana invariably brings to our minds the characters of Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Bharat, Kausalya, Ravan, Mandodari -- even Kaikeyi and Manthara.
This book is no such reverie.... it is the story of Urmila, Sita's sister, and one of the most overlooked characters in the epic. As Sita perpares to go into exile, her younger sister stay on in the doomed palace of Ayodhya, their smiles, hopes and joy wiped away in single stroke.
But one women, of immense strength and conviction, stands out in this tableau of tears and tragedy - Urmila, whose husband, Lakshman, has chosen to accompany his brother, Ram, to the forest. She could have insisted on joining Lakshman, as did Sita with Ram, but she did not..
Why did she agreed to left behind in the palace, waiting for her husband for fourteen painfully long years ? find out Sita's sister, an utterly absorbing read in which Urmila tells her story..
