Pickpick

After India's independence from Britain Lakshmi works as a henna artist to build her own independent life while both she and society struggle to mesh the old and new ways.

I loved Lakshmi and Malik, and resented the hell out of Radha even though she was the catalyst for a needed change.

Reading for #BookedInTime #IndiaIndependence It‘s really great writing and has me hooked. The subject matter is difficult but I would read other books by this writer.
