About the book: Vivid and compelling in its portrait of one woman's struggle for fulfillment in a society pivoting between the traditional and the modern, The Henna Artist opens a door into a world that is at once lush and fascinating, stark and cruel. Escaping from an abusive marriage, seventeen-year-old Lakshmi makes her way alone to the vibrant 1950s pink city of Jaipur. There she becomes the most highly requested henna artist -- and confidante -- to the wealthy women of the upper class.

Praise for the book:

"Captivated me from the first chapter to the final page." --Reese Witherspoon

“Eloquent and moving…Joshi masterfully balances a yearning for self-discovery with the need for familial love.” --Publishers Weekly
