Review of 'Krishna's sister' by Priyanka Bhuyan.

The book 'Krishna's sister' is an entrancing Indian epic retold from the perspective of Subhadra who is a sister of Lord Vishnu's incarnation Krishna. The story starts with the discourse of five pandavas. They discuss about the political alliance with Dwaraka. The story transposes to Dwaraka. Subhadra's character description is conspicuos and venturesome. 

She is a valiant woman who desires to choose her husband but deep inside her heart she is in love with one of the five Pandavas Arjun. The story retracts her misery when she comes to know about Arjuna's marriage with Draupadi. Readers will get glued to the pages to know what happens in Subhadra's life and how she manages to marry Arjun. I loved the author's narration and character description, though we might have heard Mahabharata from various perspectives, this book still shimmers in its character description and narration.

Most importantly I was attracted towards Subhadra's thoughts in the story. She opposes the political game of kings through polygamy and her love for Arjun is transcendant. Author's creativity lies in the contemplation of Subhadra. She contemplates about her marriage with Arjuna and she loathes the cousins rivalry. You might have heard Mahabharata through different narrations, nevertheless Priyanka Bhuyan's 'Krishna's sister' is unique!
