The Palace Of Illusions
Be taken back to a time that is half-history, half-myth, and wholly magical... Narrated by Panchaali, the wife of the five Pandava brothers, The Palace of Illusions finally gives a woman's take on the timeless tale that is the Mahabharata. Tracing Panchaali's life from fiery birth and lonely childhood, where her beloved brother is her only true companion; through her complicated friendship with the enigmatic Krishna; to marriage, motherhood, and her secret attraction to the myste-rious man who is her husbands most dangerous enemy, it's a deeply human story about a woman born into a man's world.
