Hi alka joshi I asked you a question before, but I have another question if that's ok. What is your 3rd book about and what's it going to be called? Or will it be a surprise. I can't wait to read it. Are you going to write more books in the series or keep it a trilogy? I can't wait to read more books from you. From Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Always happy to answer questions! Once THE SECRET KEEPER OF JAIPUR was off to the printers, Radha’s story began to crystallize, and I realized I needed a third book to finish the trilogy. I already knew Radha would marry a Parisian, move to Paris, and have two daughters—Shanti and Asha (I even knew their names!). I also knew something else: Radha was as ambitious as Lakshmi. She obtained a chemistry degree and works as a lab assistant in a fragrance house. She’s on the cusp of designing a signature scent for her Master Perfumer when she is visited by someone she hasn’t seen in 18 years since she left Jaipur, and it will be the shock of her life! For this novel, I’m currently researching the fragrance industry, adoptions and adoptees, and the Indian global diaspora. It may seem disparate, but it will all come together beautifully in the novel.
