À propos de cet audio
Good Morning America’s “27 Books for June"
PopSugar’s Best Summer Reads of 2021
A new novel by the author of The Henna Artist, a Reese's Book Club Pick
In New York Times best-selling author Alka Joshi’s intriguing new novel, henna artist Lakshmi arranges for her protégé, Malik, to intern at the Jaipur Palace in this tale rich in character, atmosphere, and lavish storytelling.
It’s the spring of 1969, and Lakshmi, now married to Dr. Jay Kumar, directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Malik has finished his private school education. At 20, he has just met a young woman named Nimmi when he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace. Their latest project: a state-of-the-art cinema.
Malik soon finds that not much has changed as he navigates the Pink City of his childhood. Power and money still move seamlessly among the wealthy class, and favors flow from Jaipur’s Royal Palace, but only if certain secrets remain buried. When the cinema’s balcony tragically collapses on opening night, blame is placed where it is convenient. But Malik suspects something far darker and sets out to uncover the truth. As a former street child, he always knew to keep his own counsel; it’s a lesson that will serve him as he untangles a web of lies.

In this irresistibly imagined belowstairs answer to Pride and Prejudice, the servants take center stage. Sarah, the orphaned housemaid, spends her days scrubbing the laundry, polishing the floors, and emptying the chamber pots for the Bennet household. But there is just as much romance, heartbreak, and intrigue downstairs at Longbourn as there is upstairs. When a mysterious new footman arrives, the orderly realm of the servants’ hall threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended.

Wow! Couldn’t stop listening
Such an intricate story, at first I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to follow the interlacing storylines, but everything is explained so beautifully- I had no trouble at all. It was so captivating and the writing beautiful. The voices were amazing, easily switching between accents, ages, and characters when appropriate. It was super helpful to have different actors for the different characters
10/10!

Not as great as Henna Artist
It was a good story but didn’t draw you in like the Henna Artist. The characters were not as interesting to follow. I wonder if I should select the third book in this Trilogy

Gripping from the start!
Wow! That was a journey!
I loved the little gap of time and the relationship developed. The times of reflections to fill in the game and all the present time craziness!
The crash of the theatre the gold and sheep troubles. All crazy and gripping! I couldn’t stop listening!!
Im a little upset there isn’t more of Radha but I guess that’s what the 3rd book is for!

Great sequel, loved it
Loved this book just as much as the Henna Artist -and now really looking forward to the third part of the triology. The imagery, events and descriptions made me very nostalgic for my time spent in Jaipur. A lovely piece of escapism, I listend to it all within a few days.
