Hard cover of “Goddess of the River” by Vaishnavi Patel. It features the silhouette of a woman wearing gold jewelry vignetted by waves. Red flowers line the right side of the book

Just finished “Goddess of the River” by Vaishnavi Patel. It’s a beautiful retelling of a story in the Mahabharata. If you’re interested in stories based on mythology with themes of mortal hardships especially as a mother, this one is for you!

Ein aufgeschlagenes Buch. Man sieht eine Kapitelüberschrift: BHISHMA. ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS BEFORE THE WAR.

Ich find’s zwar toll, durch dieses retelling des Mahabharata-Epos so viel über Hinduismus zu lernen. Andererseits ist der Erzählstil nicht meins. Ich geb dem jetzt noch ein, zwei Kapitel und entscheide dann, ob ich weiterlese. #GoddessOfTheRiver
