A mysterious letter arrives for Prakash Ray, an out-of-luck journalist, inviting him to a quaint, suburban bungalow, to celebrate the 60th birthday of an uncle he has never heard of.

Book: The Liberation of Sita; Author: Volga; Translators: T. Vijay Kumar and C. Vijayasree; Publisher: Harper Perennial; Pages: 127; Price: Rs 199
Valmiki's Ramayana is the story of a triumphant king -- Rama -- who will always do right by his subjects.
In Volga's retelling, it is Sita who, after being abandoned by Purushottam Rama, embarks on an arduous journey to self-realization. Along the way, she meets extraordinary women who have broken free from all that held them back: husbands, sons and their notions of desire, beauty and chastity. The minor women characters of the epic as we know it -- Surpanakha, Renuka, Urmila and Ahalya -- steer Sita towards an unexpected resolution. Meanwhile, Rama too must reconsider his role as the king of Ayodhya and as a man deeply in love with his wife.
A powerful subversion of India's most popular tale of morality, choice and sacrifice, The Liberation of Sita opens up new spaces within the old discourse, enabling women to review their lives and experiences afresh. This is Volga at her feminist best.
