Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of Ramayana is an epic story based on the life of India’s most admired prince - ‘Rama’ and his wife ‘Sita’. Ramayana is a mythological story, which has been passed down for many generations. Since ages, the character that is most emphasized has been that of Rama, who has always been known to keep his word whatever be the circumstances. The role of Sita has been generally overlooked in the past. Sita, too, is a pivotal character. Still, she has often been portrayed as a frail and meek character.

The book is a trip down memory lane for all Indians. Ramayana is a classic and after reading this book you realize how India has been built around the Ramayana. It also enlightens us about the multiple versions of the book that exist throughout the country. It doesn't try to defend Ram's actions and goes deep into what the problems in society are including casteism, gossiping, female purity etc. A book that everyone must have in their library.

The book goes into details of how habits are formed and how to modify or create new habits. The examples given are varied and covers people from all walks of life. A special thanks to Mike Chamberlain for the way the story was narrated, it was a pleasant addition to the book experience.
