If you have ever been to India, you will fondly remember the food, bright colors, gorgeous saris. All your senses come alive in India.
Alka Joshi's book the Henna Artist helps you relive India, in every aspect!
if you are unaware of India and would love to visit there---this is the book for you. It is a great learning tool to introduce you to the caste system, the Hindu-Islamic issues, the exorbitant wealth and the desperate poor of the untouchables.
The story is a portrayed by an independently focused female henna artist. She is determined to rise above her abusive force marriage at age 15. The story is fascinating and enticing to continue reading to the final chapter. A sequel will surely follow.
A woman's book club would have many issue to discuss---cultures, religions, food, clothes, abuse and determination. I recommend this book!
