About this listen
In New York Times best-selling author Alka Joshi’s new novel, henna artist Lakshmi arranges for her protégé, Malik, to intern at the Jaipur palace in a tale rich in character, atmosphere, intrigue and lavish storytelling.
Malik, now 20 and finished his private school education, 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 the 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 has served him well. But it is only when Lakshmi, the real keeper of Jaipur’s secrets, intervenes that things truly right themselves.

Interesting and engaging!
I listened to this directly after finishing the first of this series and perhaps loved it more than the first. A dozen years on, this tale is now told from the perspective of the original protagonist, her young sidekick, now an adult, a few minor characters from the first book and a new character. This new character throws an interesting light - of her culture and circumstance - through the development of this character. Terrific twists and conflict.

Absolutely captivating
This story is a fabulous continuation of the first book but would also easily stand alone. Listening you find yourself drawn into the lives of the characters and wanting to know more of them.

Exotic
I good follow up to the Henna Artist.
Alka Joshi is in a league of her own.
The author created an interesting story, around three main characters. She cleverly intertwined the plots.
I like listening to stories set in countries where the culture and customs are vastly different to my own.
