The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey
5.0
Fascinating dive into 1920s Bombay
This was a carefully plotted story following the life of a young female solicitor in Bombay, India - Perveen. She walks the reader through the complications of Parsi and Muslim law of that time while also showing the reader a look into the streets of Bombay past with delicious dishes, intrigue, and the complications of living in and India still under English rule. There are lots of twists and turns that you don’t anticipate. Great read for anyone who enjoys history and diving into a good murder mystery.
