Karna's Wife

The Outcast's Queen

By: Kavita Kane

Narrated by: Shaheen Khan

Karna's Wife: The Outcast's Queen tells the extraordinary story of Karna, the unsung hero of the Mahabharata, through the eyes of his wife, Uruvi, bringing his story to the listener from a unique perspective. An accomplished Kshatriya princess who falls in love with and dares to choose the sutaputra over Arjun, Uruvi must come to terms with the social implications of her marriage and learn to use her love and intelligence to be accepted by Karna and his family. Though she becomes his mainstay, counselling and guiding him, his blind allegiance to Duryodhana is beyond her power to change.

The story of Uruvi and Karna unfolds against the backdrop of the struggle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. As events build up leading to the great war of the Mahabharata, Uruvi is a witness to the twists and turns of Karna's fate and how it is inextricably linked to divine design. A splendid saga from the pages of the Mahabharata, Karna's Wife: The Outcast's Queen brings its characters alive in all their majesty.

Good story

Narrator was terrible pronunciation of names of the characters it created static in the flow of the story.

Horrible narration

This narrator certainly doesn’t know how to say Hindu words and names correctly.

Story itself is very good.

Poor reading skills

Good content but reader did not pronounce basic worlds right. Reader could have done better.
