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...
