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.
