Allarmelu took out the sari that belonged to her mother, her mother’s mother, and her mother before that. All she wanted now was not a long chain of dead mothers but her mother, alive. This sari did not have the fragrance of sandalwood and frankincense with her mother’s musk. Her heart skipped a beat. The sari on her lap was an imposter!

Sita has been sent to Valmiki's ashram at Rama's command never to return. This extraordinary novel is her story, she who as much as Rama, is at the heart of the Ramayana, one of the greatest living epics. It is also the story of Lakshmana, crushed by guilt on Sita's abduction of Soorpanakka shocked at Ravana's being struck by love, alien to the rakshasa's code and of Rama's turmoil when confronted by public gossip about Sita, his beloved wife. Through the remembrances of these and other characters, Sita comes alive as a figure of womanhood.
