1. The Complete Jaipur Trilogy
A richly told saga that follows Lakshmi, a resourceful woman who escapes an abusive marriage and becomes a sought-after henna artist and confidante to Jaipur’s elite, using her craft and wits to build independence while confronting buried secrets and the city’s rigid social hierarchies; across three novels the narrative explores love, betrayal, motherhood and resilience as personal histories and changing times pull characters between tradition and new possibilities, with the scope widening from Jaipur to international settings and the evocative world of scent.
