Book Review: Kaurava by Krishna Udayasankar

What makes a book good?Is it the story? Is it the author? Is it the language, the usage of words? Most of us will agree that it is a combination of the three that makes a book what it is. When the story is one you know well, you expect the retelling to be brilliant, which puts the onus on the author. Krishna Udayasankar�s Aryavarta Chronicles series, as we know by now (or at least those of us who have read the first � Govinda � know) is her rendition of the Mahabharata. When I began reading �Govinda�, I wondered how she would treat a much retold story, and if you have read my review, you would know that she succeeded in surprising me.
