In this powerful reinterpretation, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni explores themes of duty, betrayal, infidelity and honour as she illuminates the struggles of women like Kaikeyi, Surpanakha and Mandodari — characters often misunderstood or relegated to the margins. By transforming this age‑old tale into a gripping contemporary narrative, the novel raises enduring questions about women’s rights, autonomy and how they should be treated by those they love, making the ancient epic resonate with modern relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46709030682786,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/91DeoG0FHWL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774604120","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/the-forest-of-enchantments-by-chitra-banerjee-divakaruni","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
