Answer- B
"Victory City," Salman Rushdie's new novel, narrates an "epic tale" about a woman in the 14th century who rebels against a patriarchal society to become the ruler of a city.

The highly anticipated book recounts the story of Pampa Kampana, a young orphan girl who is bestowed with magical abilities by a goddess and establishes the city of Bisnaga, known as Victory City in modern-day India.

The book is brilliantly narrated in the form of an ancient epic and presents a saga of love, adventure, and myth that serves as a tribute to the art of storytelling.
