书籍简介
Vaishnavi Patel的处女作《吉迦伊》立即成为《纽约时报》的畅销书，并在Tiktok引起轰动，该作品重新塑造了印度史诗《罗摩衍那》中臭名昭著的女王的生活。
作为国王的独生女，吉迦伊看着她的母亲被放逐，而她自己的价值也被降低到她能保证的婚姻联盟上。虽然她是在诸神的威力和仁慈的故事中长大的，但她的祈祷却没有得到回应。她求助于她母亲的图书馆，发现了一种只属于她的魔法。有了这种力量，凯基伊将自己从一个被忽视的公主变成了一个战士、外交家和受宠的女王，决心为自己和周围的妇女创造一个更好的世界。但是，当她童年故事中的恶魔威胁到她的世界时，她所开创的道路与众神为她的家族选择的命运发生了冲突。凯基伊必须决定抵抗是否值得造成破坏，以及她打算留下什么遗产。
对于历史和神话重述的读者来说，如玛德琳·米勒的《Circe》和珍妮弗-森特的《Ariadne》，这本强大的处女作编织了一个关于一个非凡女性的故事，她决心在一个由神和人决定未来事物形态的世界中留下自己的印记。
An instant New York Times bestseller and Tiktok sensation, Vaishnavi Patel's stunning debut Kaikeyi reimagines the life of the infamous queen from Indian epic the Ramayana...
The only daughter of a king, Kaikeyi watches as her mother is banished and her own worth is reduced to what marriage alliance she can secure. Although she was raised on stories of the might and benevolence of the gods, her asks for help go unanswered. She turns to her mother's library and discovers a magic that is hers alone. With this power, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat and favoured queen, determined to carve a better world for herself and the women around her. But when evils from her stories threaten her world, the path she has forged clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her family. Kaikeyi must decide if resistance is worth the destruction it will wreak - and what legacy she intends to leave behind.
A must for readers of historical and mythological retellings such as Madeline Miller's Circe and Jennifer Saint's Ariadne, this powerful debut weaves a tale of an extraordinary woman determined to leave her mark in a world where gods and men dictate the shape of things to come.
作者简介
Vaishnavi Patel是一名法律学生。她喜欢在印度神话、女权主义和反殖民主义的交汇处写作。她的短篇小说可以在《黑暗》和《87贝德福德的历史幻想文集》中找到，还有一个即将在《太阳神季刊》上发表的故事。Vaishnavi在芝加哥及其周边地区长大，在业余时间，她喜欢的活动几乎是中西部的刻板印象：编织、滑冰、喝热巧克力和做热菜。
Vaishnavi Patel is a law student focusing on constitutional law and civil rights. She likes to write at the intersection of Indian myth, feminism, and anti-colonialism. Her short stories can be found in The Dark and 87 Bedford's Historical Fantasy Anthology along with a forthcoming story in Helios Quarterly. Vaishnavi grew up in and around Chicago, and in her spare time, enjoys activities that are almost stereotypically Midwestern: knitting, ice skating, drinking hot chocolate, and making hotdish.
