When renowned painter Mira Novak arrives at Wadia hospital in Bombay
after a miscarriage, she's expected to make a quick recovery, and her
nurse, Sona, is excited to learn more about the vivacious artist who
shares her half-Indian identity. Sona, yearning for a larger life,
finds herself carried away by Mira's stories of her travels and
exploits and is shocked by accounts of the many lovers the painter has
left scattered throughout Europe. When Mira dies quite suddenly and
mysteriously, Sona falls under suspicion, and her quiet life is
upended.
The key to proving Sona's innocence may lie in a cryptic note and four
paintings Mira left in her care, sending the young woman on a mission
to visit the painter's former friends and lovers across a tumultuous
Europe teetering toward war. On the precipice of discovering her own
identity, Sona learns that the painter's charming facade hid a far more
complicated, troubled soul.
In her first stand-alone novel since her bestselling debut, The Henna
Artist, Alka Joshi uses the life of painter Amrita Sher-Gil, the "Frida
Kahlo of India," as inspiration for the story's beginning to explore
how far we'll travel to determine where we truly belong.
