About this listen

Kunti, a rare matriarch in the Mahabharata and one of the revered Pancha Satis, holds an unforgettable position in the Indian literary imagination. Yet, little is known about the fateful events that shaped her early life.

Taking on the intricate task, Koral Dasgupta unravels the lesser-known strands of Kunti’s story: through a childhood of scholarly pursuits to unwanted motherhood at adolescence, a detached marriage and her ambitious love for the king of the devas.

After the remarkable success of Ahalya, the first book in the Sati series, Kunti presents a brilliant and tender retelling of a story at the heart of our culture and mythology.

In the Sati series, Koral Dasgupta explores the lives of the Pancha Kanyas from Indian mythology and reinvents them in the modern context with a feminist consciousness.

very great depiction. The turn of events were intriguing all over.
I felt there was too much justification for some plots which leads to agreement with stereotypes.
Too short to judge. Conviction is good.
Non-main characters weren't contributing to the story.

Good read

I haven't finished listening to this book, and I just can't take the narrator's inconsistently weird pronunciation of some words anymore. While she clearly has what it takes to be a narrator, English should probably not be her language of choice.

I love the story so far, and I'm going to finish reading Kunti as a paperback.

The audiobook is a DNF for me

This is a book needing you to spend time to read minutely so you enjoy every bit of it. Congrats to the author and narrator

A superb and dense book. Expertly narrated.

Finishing listening to the audio format on Mother's Day is coincidentally beautiful. I liked how Kunti, her prowess and gentle side, is portrayed. People who consider Vyasa Bharatham the ultimate version may despise this book, but everyone's opinions and interpretations of each character in the epic might differ. Hence, the storytelling from everyone's point of view will vary.

Listen to this book to see the novel side of Kunti's story.

An interesting monologue of Kunti

The story is really good excerpts taken from different parts of her life. I feel it could have been better if they were narrated in a sequence.

Too short.
