The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

While I realize this book might not be completely accurate for how things are in India, it was nice to read about a different culture. I found it interesting to read about the henna being created and how it is inspired. I did also enjoy Lakshmi being a strong female character, even if there were lots of bad decisions throughout the book. Regardless, it was a nice read that I became very much engaged with. I connected with these characters and wanted what was best for them. I will definitely be looking for the sequel in my book travels.

I hope more books with diverse voices get as popular as this book appears to be. It's a nice change.

Four out of five stars.
