About this listen
Good Morning America’s “27 Books for June"
PopSugar’s Best Summer Reads of 2021
In New York Times bestselling author Alka Joshi’s intriguing new novel, henna artist Lakshmi arranges for her protégé, Malik, to intern at the Jaipur Palace in this tale rich in character, atmosphere, and lavish storytelling.
It’s the spring of 1969, and Lakshmi, now married to Dr. Jay Kumar, directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Malik has finished his private school education. At twenty, he has just met a young woman named Nimmi when he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace. Their latest project: a state-of-the-art cinema.
Malik soon finds that not much has changed as he navigates the Pink City of his childhood. Power and money still move seamlessly among the wealthy class, and favors flow from Jaipur’s Royal Palace, but only if certain secrets remain buried. When the cinema’s balcony tragically collapses on opening night, blame is placed where it is convenient. But Malik suspects something far darker and sets out to uncover the truth. As a former street child, he always knew to keep his own counsel; it’s a lesson that will serve him as he untangles a web of lies.
"Captivated me from the first chapter to the last page." —Reese Witherspoon on The Henna Artist

The story is told from different view points of Lakshmi, Malik and Nimmi.
The story is full of emotions and events of each member of this story.
Lakshmi is married to Jay Kumar, the doctor of the community centre of Shimla.
Malik moved with Lakshmi and Radha to Shimla.
Radha later marries and moves to France. In this book she is not part.
Malik is in love with Nimmi.
Nimmi lost her husband and has 2 little children.
Lakshmi sent Malik back home to stay out of trouble in Shimla.
He is still young and Lakshmi brought him back to Shimla once he understood enough of life.
While he was back home he was learning a lot about construction.
A cinema was build and something terrible happened.
Lakshmi helped Malik to clear Mano's name.
I heartily recommend this read, many surprises and a lovely book to listen.
Next book will be the 3rd book which will be about Radha's life in France.
That is why she was purposely left out of this book as much as possible.❤
beautiful 2nd book
