The Henna Artist (The Jaipur Trilogy, #1) opens Goodreads in a new tab
Alka Joshi
Jaipur, 1955. Lakshmi Shastri has fled an abusive marriage and built a new life as the henna artist to the wealthy women of the city, who confide in her as she adorns their hands. Her carefully built independence is threatened when her husband tracks her down and a teenage sister she never knew appears at her door. Alka Joshi's debut is a richly detailed story of secrets, ambition, and resilience in newly independent India.
