Title : The Daughter from a Wishing Tree
Author : Sudha Murthy
Genre : Mythology
Rating : 5 / 5

Hola bookworms !!
Whenever we talk or hear about mythology, the first ones who come in our mind are either Lord Krishna, Pandavas, Lord Ram or even Draupadi and Sita for that matter. But, there are also many other women who hold an important place in our mythological stories.
.
.
So here is again a masterpiece by Sudha Murthy which narrates surprising tales of women other than Draupadi and Sita who have been equally successful in setting an example of heroism, love, sacrifice, and bravery. .
.
This book is undoubtedly a quintessential read for the ones who would love to dive deep into the world of mythology. Despite being a sucker of mythology, there were various tales about which I was totally unaware. This book discusses the different forms of Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Parvati and many other women who have been a part of our primitive stories. .
.
Sudha Murthy is an author who manages to weave stories with her immense knowledge and countless life experiences. The simplicity in her language and lucidity in her writing style is just praiseworthy. Every story that she writes, either mythology or from her life experiences teaches us a lesson which should be treasured forever. .
.
You should read this book even if you are not an avid reader. Reading such books makes my love for reading even more deep. Peeps, just read this book and do thank me later if you liked it as much as I did.

The fourth in the series - a good next step to an ACK

31 October 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have loved the stories from this set, even if I knew them already. They brought back memories from old tales or made connection to present day thta I was not aware of. The stories are lovely , just that I would have loved to see more offbeat tales. The illustrations are gorgeous! A good read for pre teens who may have left their amar chitra katha days behind but still need an updated Iesson in our tales.

Boring!

2 January 2020

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

With all due respect to the writer, this book was so boring that I had to simply return it. The narration is so boring. Pick this book only if you know nothing about women from Indian epic and the story of Goddesses and their origin etc. I am amazed that Penquin publishes such books.

Saudha Murthy"s autograph on the book made my son very happy.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I received an autographed book by the author Sudha Murthy, which was a pleasant surprise. Te book cover also mentioned limited signed copies. I have read Sudha Murthy's books in Gujarati and my son is now reading it in English. I have purchased books of Sudha Murthy for my Office library also. She writes well, lucid and appealing. She tells about human values and Indianness.

Delightful and entertaining. A new collection of short stories ( likely to be different than what you might have read previously) with very nice depictions.
