What I searched all these\n years for myself—and I only found Ahalya, the woman I was supposed to\n be born as: unblemished, without any faults. I had no hala in me, no sin,\n no crime, no guilt. What\n I had done was to respond to the call of life within me…’—Ahalya. \n \n Created by Brahma; married to one of the greatest rishis of all time;\n desired by the king of gods,\n Indra. A woman maligned and cursed. But who was Ahalya? What did she want?\n Did she have\n ambitions and desires? \n \n In this sparkling retelling of the well-known legend, bestselling author\n Kavita Kané draws out the\n voice of a character that lacked one—even before she was turned to stone.
