About this book

A young woman learns for the first time what is it to love and lose. Set in the mythical land of the Asuras, Vishparva, Ashok Banker assaults the senses through shock and awe in this powerful and haunting story. Published for the first time in India and exploring overarching themes of love, feminism and the Hindu concept of dharma, this tale is refreshingly original.
