This book was primarily about an Indian community in London.  A young woman finding her way answered an ad to be a teacher of writing at a temple. There were a lot of elements to the story.  Nikki, the teacher, ended up befriending the class and the widows decided to write erotic stories.  These are open door.  Nikki herself is trying to find her way after losing her dad after they had a heated argument about she dropped out of law school.  This is about family, tradition, marriage and women finding their voice.

Kind of bored with the pace feeling too slow. Bit too much like an anthology of erotica, which I should have expected.

I truly loved this novel, particularly listening in audiobook format. I loved the creativity and the writing in this story. I watch and read a lot of British English materials, and this one offered a glimpse into a completely different British community. Some of the "stories" that are shared are pretty racy, so probably not for young readers, or those of a puritan bent.

What a way to start the new year! I listened to this on audio and it was SO good. I know it says erotic in the title but for some reason I didn’t think it would be so spicy! 

It was an absolute joy to listen to because there was romance, spice, and mystery! All the best things in one perfect book! I loved following the stories of all of the widows and Nikki and her family. 

This book was truly a delight and I think everyone should read it!
