This historical fiction piece was truly unique and captivating in all regards.In this work we address class division between the rich and the poor while also taking a glance into the modern and traditions of the past.
India is at the center of this novel with beautiful characters and thoughtful reflection of each individual issue that arises.
Lakshmi is such a strong female heroine. A woman who has had her fair share of the 'life of hard knocks' with an abusive spouse as well as trying to make her mark in the world of the wealthy elites as a 'henna artist.'
She wants nothing more than to become independent and self sufficient while building her own home one day.
Suddenly, we learn of her sister that she never knew she had that brings a whole host of new issues to the table.
It's an amazing and powerful read that I truly enjoyed.
