Though the intention was good and ‘heroic’, the poor handling of the narrative and also unnecessary twists in the main storyline have almost killed the vital spirit in the novel. However, to add the twist, the novelist has given the narrative and perspective authority to Draupadi, the lead female character in the epic. Written by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, the novel is clearly using the same set of characters and the plot. ![]() ![]() Background: The Palace of Illusions is a novel based on Hindu epic Mahabharat and the historical Lunar Dynasty battle between the Kaurav and Pandav brothers. ![]()
