A sudden friendship followed by an equally sudden and mysterious death sparks a journey across race, culture, and class on a search for belonging in a society that insists on clear definitions of identity and status . . .
Alka Joshi uses the life of painter Amrita Sher-Gil (known as the 'Frida Kahlo of India') as inspiration for the story's beginning to explore how far people will travel to determine where they truly belong in Six Days in Bombay, a sweeping novel of identity and self-discovery that takes its readers from 1937 Bombay to Prague, Florence, Paris, and London to uncover the mystery behind a famous painter's death.
"A sparkling travelogue and a poignant journey of self-discovery all in one." -- Kate Quinn, bestselling author of The Alice Network, The Rose Code, and The Huntress
