Hi, Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your first two books . I am very happy you have written another! I will be starting it soon , just need to clear my schedule so I won’t be interrupted!

Lakshmi, Malik and Radha are each important to the trilogy, which is why they all appear in each novel. What interested me in continuing their stories was how they encountered obstacles at different stages of their lives and how they chose to handle them. The Henna Artist started Lakshmi’s journey in 1955. In 1969, we met Malik as a 20-year-old young man trying to make a name for himself in The Secret Keeper of Jaipur. And in 1974, we get to know how far Radha has come � from an obstreperous teenager to a responsible wife and mother with her own journey to independence in The Perfumist of Paris. Thanks for your question, and I can’t wait for you to read the third book in the trilogy!

I loved your trilogy and can't wait to dive into Six Days in Bombay! My husband is Indian, and your books have been such a wonderful window into the culture, language, and � of course � the food. I've even saved a few recipes to surprise him! Now, I'm eager to explore more of India's history. Do you have any book recommendations that offer a deeper insight? I'd love suggestions for fiction and non-fiction books!
