BOOK CLUB: The Henna Artist
Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0cnR7JPXfbdZegoCkKcsVW?si=11875c1abc114a6eHey, book club besties!This month, we read the incredible debut novel by Alka Joshi titled the Henna Artist. Following protagonist Lakshmi - one of Jaipur’s most in-demand Henna Artists - the novel tells the story of a woman running away from her past in 1950s India in order to forge her own path. But of course, there’s only so far she can run before her ex-husband and a sister she didn’t know existed turn up on her doorstep. So, does their arrival mark the beginning of the end for Lakshmi’s new life? It’s a story about freedom of choice, domestic abuse, and arranged marriage, and boy was it a riveting read.Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about the book’s exploration of the female experience in India during the 1950s, standout characters, and plot twist execution.Got some thoughts on our November pick, ‘In Order To Live’ by Yeonmi Park?
