Ms. Joshi is a strong writer. I would've loved to read snippets of Malik and Nimmi's conversations sprinkled throughout as I believe it would have tied the book together. Their emotional bond is murky and readers are left wondering why they like each other. (At least, I was). 

Other than that, the plot and characters were great! Ms. Joshi spoils us with colorful descriptions of food, herbs, jewelry, cosmetics, and silk. They are so beautiful!
