About this listen

Karna's Wife: The Outcast's 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 listener 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 Karna's fate and how it is inextricably linked to divine design. A splendid saga from the pages of the Mahabharata, Karna's Wife: The Outcast's Queen brings its characters alive in all their majesty.

Loved the book, got to know about Karna from a different angle. The narration could have been better, sometimes it even takes u out of the story. But nevertheless story was well written and simply awesome. Enjoyed it a lot.

Presenting a new angle to the already known story is a commendable task, narration was also good except for the pathetic butchery of the names.

A good listen

I could not enjoy the book. I finally left it after the 3rd chapter as the terrible pronounciation kept jarring. I had to constantly pause and skip back to listen again just to make sense.
the story seemed interesting, but i cud not bear the narrator any more.

terrible narrator

The story is great. I just saw in my recommendations and I knew I wanted to listen to it . but The narrator should be with an Indian accent. It's Karn not KarnA, Arjun not ArjunA and the most irritating word for me was SwayamvarA. Big noooo it's Swayamvar. Such words do not have any translation in English, they are our words and we should pronounce them our way.

Narrator shouldn't have accent for Indian story
