SUMMARY:JCC: Book Series - Six Days in Bombay by Alka Joshi
DESCRIPTION:Six Days in Bombay by Alka Joshi\n\nRegister Here\n\n\nSet in 1937\, the novel follows Sona\, a young Anglo-Indian nurse\, as she travels from Bombay to Istanbul\, Prague\, Florence\, Paris\, and London to uncover the mystery behind a famous painter’s death. Sona\, born to an Indian mother and abandoned by her British father\, is a nurse in Bombay who struggles with her dual identity. When Mira Novak\, a famous half-Indian painter\, arrives at the hospital after a miscarriage\, Sona becomes captivated by her stories of worldly adventure and reckless love. Over the course of a week\, the women develop a special bond and when Mira dies under mysterious circumstances\, Sona immediately falls under suspicion.\n\nThe 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\,\nlearning 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. \nAlka Joshi is the internationally bestselling author of the Jaipur Trilogy: The Henna Artist\, The Secret Keeper of Jaipur and The Perfumist of Paris. She has a BA from Stanford University and an MFA from California College of Arts and spent 30 years in the fields of advertising and marketing before pivoting to a full-time career as a novelist. Her fourth novel\, Six Days in Bombay (4/15/25)\, is a sweeping travelogue of a young Indian women’s journey from 1937 India to a turbulent Europe as she comes into her own. Alka has spoken to well over 900 bookclubs\, literary festivals\, colleges and corporations about her writing journey.
