Book Synopsis
"Astonishing…[Satyamurti's Mahabharata] brings [the] past alive…as though it were a novel in finely crafted verse." Vinay Dharwadker

Trade Review
"Carole Satyamurti’s Mahabharata, crucially not a translation, uses previous English versions as a springboard for her blank-verse "modern retelling". Her aim has been to produce a readable and gripping narrative, focusing on the story, for the reader who may have little or no previous knowledge of the epic, and in this she has been resoundingly successful." -- New Statesman
"A bold new English translation captures the excitement and scope of the original Sanskrit epic poem." -- The Tablet
