That is wha...A true marksman is never out of touch. That is what your quick and lucid take on the book proves. I like how the lesser known characters have been explored in the book. In fact, it usually is the strongest element the author may use when dealing in age old classics. It brings to my mind the Orange Prize winner of not too old a past, <i>The Song of Achilles</i> by Madeline Miller. The story centres around Patroclus, a lesser known character, rather than the much serenaded hero, who hounds the title of the book too. <br /><br />It is sad that the author of the book under review has chosen to humanise Krishna without offering his deeper insights into his seemingly unreasonable acts.<br /><br />Good to see you back in action.umashankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940072093576263799noreply@blogger.com
