![]() With this power, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most favored queen, determined to carve a better world for herself and the women around her.īut as the evil from her childhood stories threatens the cosmic order, the path she has forged clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her family. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.ĭesperate for some measure of independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on tales of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Patel’s mesmerizing debut shines a brilliant light on the vilified queen from the Ramayana.This easily earns its place on shelves alongside Madeline Miller’s Circe." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)“I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions-much good it did me.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ĭontinue the beautiful storytelling with Tales from the Cafe and Before Your Memory Fades. In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the cafe’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by Alzheimer's, see their sister one last time, and meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.īut the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the cafe, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold.

But what does the evidence of the Bristol census schedules tell us now about the real extent of the boycott across the city? She even boated of a caravan, turned into an ‘ark of refuge from the flood of census questions’, driving over Clifton Suspension Bridge. Meanwhile in Bristol itself, Annie Kenney talked up the census boycott to the local press. Her evasion went up from the local enumerator, to the registrar and right up to the top Whitehall civil servant. She spent the night in a caravan somewhere near Salisbury Plain. The most daring evader in the Bristol region was Lillian Dove-Willcox, who headed south-west into rural Wiltshire. Back at Eagle House, her parents complied with the census ~ and her mother's diary is a rare account of a woman complier. Mary herself joined the mass evasion at Lansdown Crescent in Bath, organized by the WSPU. All three Blathwayts wrote daily diaries, offering a rare foot-soldiers’ view of census weekend. ![]() ![]() And just outside Bath in imposing Eagle House lived suffragette Mary Blathwayt and her parents.
