Reese Witherspoon’s March Book Club Pick! ‘Big-hearted, earthy and funny… A rattlingly good story’ Deborah Moggach, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Every woman has a secret life…
When Nikki takes a creative writing job at her local temple, with visions of emancipating the women of the community she left behind as a self-important teenager, she’s shocked to discover a group of barely literate women who have no interest in her ideals.
Yet to her surprise, the white dupatta of the widow hides more than just their modesty – these are women who have spent their lives in the shadows of fathers, brothers and husbands; being dutiful, raising children and going to temple, but whose inner lives are as rich and fruitful as their untold stories. But as they begin to open up to each other about womanhood, sexuality, and the dark secrets within the community, Nikki realises that the illicit nature of the class may place them all in danger.
East meets west and tradition clashes with modernity in a thought-provoking cross-cultural novel that might make you look again at the women in your life…

A fun book to listen to. The narrator is excellent and the book itself is filled with romance, mystery, humor and some spicy stories. Great and easy read.

Wat een heerlijk boek! Door de titel heb ik het een tijd uitgesteld, maar erg blij dat ik het heb geluisterd. Er komen veel thema's aan bod in het boek, maar feminisme t.o.v vrouwenonderdrukking heeft de overhand. Toch is het verhaal ook hartverwarmend, spannend en grappig op momenten zonder als too much over te komen. Aanrader!
