Coming Events
Exploring India through the Lens of Novelists
Interested in traveling to India but don’t want to leave your cozy armchair? We have launched a book group that focuses on Indian novels. The book discussion is hybrid—in person and on Zoom—and meets every two months on the second Friday of the month at 5:30-6:30 (EST).
Our next book is The Widows of Malabar Hill, by Sujata Massey
The story takes place in Bombay, 1921. Perveen Mistry, one of the first female lawyers in India, is handling the will of Mr. Omar Farid, a wealthy businessman, who has left three widows behind. Perveen notices something strange with the will: all three have signed over their interitance to a charity. What will they live on if they forefeit what their husband left them? Are they being taken advantage of by an unscrupulous guardian?
Tensions escalate to a murder. It’s Perveen’s responsibility to figure out what really happened on Malabar Hill, and to ensure that nobody is in further danger
