Publisher's Summary
Surpanakha, Ravan's famous sister. Ugly and untamed, brutal and brazen - this is often how she is commonly perceived. One whose nose was sliced off by an angry Lakshman and the one who started a war. But was she really just a perpetrator of war? Or was she a victim? Was she 'Lanka's princess'? Or was she the reason behind its destruction?
Surpanakha, which means the woman 'as hard as nails', was born as Meenakshi - the one with beautiful, fish-shaped eyes. She is often the most misunderstood character in the Ramayana. Growing up in the shadows of her brothers, who were destined to win wars, fame and prestige, she instead charted out a path filled with misery and revenge.
Accused of manipulating events between Ram and Ravan, which culminated in a bloody war and annihilation of her family, Kavita Kané's Lanka's Princess makes us see the familiar events unfold from the eyes of a woman more hated than hateful.

aAll about Shurpnakha
Shurpnakha is the most hated character in Ramayan.
this book delves into her life...a life even the history did not bother to chronical. most of the story is known via Ramayan, and the rest is a revelation.
well researched and taut, I found it gripping to know Surpnakha or Meenakshi better.

Boring and slow
The story is so boring and slow. Even after chapters after chapters everything is exactly at the same place as it was. The write keeps talking about the expressions on everyone's face. Is this some kind of Indian TV Soap opera or has the writer been writing the Balaji telefilms scripts. Overall wasted money and even more wasted time. I gave up after trying to read 8 chapters.
