Join Lewes Public Library, the History Book Festival, and Browseabout Books in-person at the library or online for a conversation with New York Times bestselling author Alka Joshi to discuss her new historical novel, Six Days in Bombay. This sweeping tale of identity and self-discovery takes readers from Bombay to Prague, Florence, Paris and London, to uncover the mystery behind a famous painter's death. In her first stand-alone novel since her bestselling debut, The Henna Artist, Joshi uses the life of painter Amrita Sher-Gil, the "Frida Kahlo of India," as inspiration for the story's beginning to explore how far we'll travel to determine where we truly belong.
Joshi is the internationally bestselling author of the Jaipur Trilogy: The Henna Artist, The Secret Keeper of Jaipur, and The Perfumist of Paris. Six Days in Bombay is her fourth novel.
