Karnas Wife: The Outcasts Queen tells the extraordinary story of Karna, the unsung hero of the Mahabharata, through the eyes of his wife Uruvi, bringing his story to the reader from a unique perspective. An accomplished Kshatriya princess who falls in love with and dares to choose the sutaputra over Arjun, Uruvi must come to terms with the social implications of her marriage and learn to use her love and intelligence to be accepted by Karna and his family. Though she becomes his mainstay, counselling and guiding him, his blind allegiance to Duryodhana is beyond her power to change. The story of Uruvi and Karna unfolds against the backdrop of the struggle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. As events build up leading to the great war of the Mahabharata, Uruvi is a witness to the twists and turns of Karnas fate; and how it is inextricably linked to divine design. A splendid saga from the pages of the Mahabharata, Karnas Wife: The Outcasts Queen brings its characters alive in all their majesty.

The book is well written & few emotions such as the reactions to Kunti's actions are very well captured. Sadly, it lacked to capture the very essence of Karna !
While there is no official record of it, many legends hold that despite Karna's second marriage, Vrushali & Karna were in fact soulmates & loved each other deeply as spouses unlike the message conveyed here. Neither did she commit suicide, she decided to end her life as Karna's sati. A detail omit in this book.

Title : Karna’s Wife- The Outcasts Queen
Author : @Kavitakane

Karna’s wife is the first book for my #madeinindiareadathon, covering prompts 3rd, 8th & 11th.
And I would like to encourage more people to join this #readathon and let’s read together.

I must tell you, this book was on my #TBR from long back, and ever since I’ve read #MenakasChoice, I had decided, I’ll read each book from this author, because they are simply amazing. She focuses on the women characters from the stories of Mahabharata, and other epics, which I’ve never heard of.

Her books focus on the women’s life, their struggles and portrays whole story through their view.

When we watched Mahabharata, we have never seen the roles Uruvi, Karna’s Wife played. This is the most fascinating thing about Kavita Kane’s books. When i read this book, I felt each and every feeling and emotions Uruvi must have went through.

When I first read Menaka’s Choice, I fell in love with Menaka and now it’s Uruvi. I’m even looking forward to read all of her books, yes, and that day will come soon.

The story begins with Uruvi, daughter of King Pukeya, had a dream about Karna since the first time she saw him at the archery tournament in Hastinapur. And from that day she fell in love with him.

One day, Uruvi’s mother, Queen Shubra decides to have a Swayamvara for her daughter. But Uruvi wanted to marry Karna. Being a kshatriya girl, she can’t marry a sutaputra, yet she desires to be his wife.

Uruvi is shown as a strong women who stands for herself in every circumstances. The father-daughter relationship is described so well, I related it to my relations with my dad.

Reading Kavita kane’s books, I feel very connected to the characters and get more involved in the book.
The end was really unexpected and emotional.

I recommend to all mythology readers.
I will give it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

I would love to know your thoughts on this book. Have you read it?

Powerful!

Reviewed in India on 22 April 2019

This is, hands down, one of the most powerful books I've read till date. The portrayal of the eponymous heroine, Uruvi, with her passion for Karna, her courage to stand up against the status quo, her anger directed towards social injustice has been narrated by the authoress with such sublimity that it makes the book a riveting page turner. I was blown away, especially, by Chapter 20 (Karna & Kunti) for its sheer narrative force & social commentary. This book has everything of a 'masterpiece'. Highly recommended! ❤️ Thank you @kavitakane Ma'am for writing this book.

Loved it! This is my second kavita Kane book and she's amazing. I loved the way she described the heart touching love between Uruvi And Karna. This is a beautiful book and the way its written is remarkable. I can't believe I cried at the ending. Even though a complete fiction this Novel will make you fall in love with Karna for he was a true hero with a miserable fate.

Tremendous work by the writer. Reliving the story of Mahabharata in the sight of an unheard personality is something beyond the words. I've known karna as great husband in the book mrityunjaya but in karna's wife the new shade of karna reviled. In this book you'll get to know karna as lover which is very refreshing thing you'll learn about this warrior. As his wife Uruvi is a high spirited warrior princess who chooses her path and not afraid to accept the consequences of her decisions. Kavita kane will takes you to the emotional journey through this book and will make you fall in love with karna as well as Uruvi.

Lacks research and depth

Reviewed in India on 13 September 2020

Verified Purchase

Poor understanding of Mahabharata. Very shoddy research. The writer does not even know Anga is orrisa and not some village inside Hastinapur where karna can walk on and off at wish.
Those who like historical fiction, better give this book a miss. It only adds writers confused understanding about Mahabharata.

This is a really good read, it narrates the story of mahabarat from a different perspective. It keeps you captivated, it tells the story so beautifully that you do not want to put the book down!

Food for thought if you like your characters in Mahabharata. A side-line perspective to see this fallen hero. Good read.

Not As Good as Her Later Work

Reviewed in the United States on 19 June 2017

So I picked up "Karna's Wife" after devouring Kane's other three novels, "Lanka's Princess," "Menaka's Choice," and "Sita's Sister." I was excited to read about another female figure from Hindu Mythology and to learn her story. However, I have to say I did not enjoy this book as much as Kane's later three works. It lacked the spirit of her later work. As much as I tried, the book lacked a likable female heroine. What I mean by that is someone I could identify with. The lead character lacked what I thought was true emotion. Like with any first work, you learn and I think Kane did as is evidenced by the excellence of her following three books. I would encourage the other three works to be read in replacement. I am sure other readers will enjoy this work, just was not my cup of tea.
