The book displays a plethora of emotions that Sita went through in Ramayana and these emotions can be resonated with many women even in today's scenario. The jittery feelings that Sita has before and after getting married are depicted very well. The best part of it is its ending and how it talks about the injustice a woman faces in a marriage which is unfortunately well-accepted in society. Overall, it is an amazing read for a feminist.
