#TheSecretKeeperofJaipur

[memoriesfrombooks]

The plot of The Secret Keeper of Jaipur by Alka Joshi unfolds at different levels. A construction disaster. Palace intrigues. A romance. The expedient decision vs the right decision. The family we choose. All of this set in the midst of the beautiful Pink City and the colors, tastes, and sounds of India makes for an engaging story beginning to end. Please note that this is book 2 in a trilogy. I feel it can be enjoyed on its own, but, then again, I have read the first.

Author @thealkajoshi’s sequel to her debut bestseller #TheHennaArtist is #TheSecretKeeperofJaipur. Set in the spring of 1969, Lakshmi is now married to Dr. Jay Kumar and directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Her protege/adopted son Malik has finished his private school education. At twenty, he has just met a young woman named Nimmi, a widow struggling to provide for her children. When he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace, Nimmi begins to work with Lakshmi in Shimla. Lakshmi works her magic on improving Nimmi’s lot in life and safeguards her and her children for the sake of Malik. Meanwhile, Malik soon finds that not much has changed in Jaipur, as he navigates the Pink City of his childhood. When a new cinema’s balcony tragically collapses on opening night, Malik pursues the truth about what happened. The audiobook is beautiful narrated. I enjoyed returning to Lakshmi’s world. #audiobookstagram #bookstagram #harlequinaudio #historicalfiction #librofm #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CQLwjdjL_wo/?utm_medium=tumblr
