JCC: Book Series – Six Days in Bombay by Alka Joshi

Six Days in Bombay by Alka Joshi

The key to proving Sona’s innocence may lie in a cryptic note and four paintings Mira left in her care, sending her on a mission to visit the painter’s former friends and lovers across a tumultuous Europe teetering on war. As Sona leaves her quiet, sheltered life in Bombay behind, she’s thrust into cultures and situations she’s never had to face,
learning valuable lessons, growing in her independence, and confronting her own painful past. She also learns her beloved Mira’s charming façade hid a complicated, troubled soul.
