The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi

4.0

Fast-paced and character-driven, I felt compelled to read this novel in a single day! Although some auxiliary characters were unrealistically helpful than they probably would be in the highly codified society created by the caste system, readers will be relieved when they come to the aid of the compassionate, trustworthy, and resilient Lakshmi. Ultimately, an accessible and beautifully woven tale.
