But, her life is about to change when a 13-year-old sister shows up at her doorstep with her estranged husband, a sister she never knew she had.
In the heart of it, this is a really well-written piece of historical fiction. Alka Joshi paints a vivid image of the Jaipur society ruled by social norms and the caste system of the time.
Lakshmi is an interesting female protagonist and many other characters are unique and well done.
The plot is a little soapy, but it works. Even though the topics in this book are often very heavy, there is a particular lightness to it, so at times it feels like a fairy tale. This to me shows the skill of Joshi as a storyteller.
If there is one thing I didn't like - the character of Radha could've been given a little bit more depth and clarity.
