The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi

The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi

Lakshmi fled an abusive arranged marriage as a teenager and built an independent life in 1950s Jaipur as a skilled henna artist to the city's wealthiest women, carefully guarding secrets about their private lives — until the sudden arrival of a younger sister she never knew about threatens to unravel everything she has built.

Joshi grounds the novel in richly researched period detail about post-independence Jaipur society, class divisions and the henna trade itself, and Lakshmi's determination to protect her hard-won independence against both her past and new family obligations drives the novel's central tension.

Book one of the bestselling Jaipur trilogy, a richly detailed historical saga.
