A great read that I picked up from a local bookshop in Ithaca, NY (Buffalo Street Books, check ‘em out!). I love the story and Maria Dahvana Headley’s translation was an updated, flowing joyride through this ancient poem that still gives today. She made some strong choices but they work and the book just flew by (I read it in two sittings, only because I started too late the first night … I really wanted to finish it but didn’t want to keep going and miss some cool thing she did. Well worth the investment of treasure and time.
