A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER

A REESE WITHERSPOON x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB PICK

"Captivated me from the first chapter to the final page."—Reese Witherspoon


Vivid and compelling in its portrait of one woman’s struggle for fulfillment in a society pivoting between the traditional and the modern, The Henna Artist opens a door into a world that is at once lush and fascinating, stark and cruel.

Escaping from an abusive marriage, seventeen-year-old Lakshmi makes her way alone to the vibrant 1950s pink city of Jaipur. There she becomes the most highly requested henna artist—and confidante—to the wealthy women of the upper class. But trusted with the secrets of the wealthy, she can never reveal her own…

Known for her original designs and sage advice, Lakshmi must tread carefully to avoid the jealous gossips who could ruin her reputation and her livelihood. As she pursues her dream of an independent life, she is startled one day when she is confronted by her husband, who has tracked her down these many years later with a high-spirited young girl in tow—a sister Lakshmi never knew she had. Suddenly the caution that she has carefully cultivated as protection is threatened. Still she perseveres, applying her talents and lifting up those that surround her as she does.

“Eloquent and moving…Joshi masterfully balances a yearning for self-discovery with the need for familial love.”—Publishers Weekly

very cute
Format: Kindle
This was a great winter read with grovel! I love that each MMC took his own approach to groveling, and that the FMC didn’t forgive them easily.

Very misleading title…but not a bad book. Spoilers!
Format: Kindle
If you love ABO fated/scent match books or even just second chance books in general this is a cute quick read. I’m really confused why the title is grovel but there is literally no groveling in the book…AT ALL! There is only little or no thought or effort involved apologies (on two of the MMCs part, and absolutely nada on the third MMC’s part) and general alpha this omega is mine, coupled with light small town older generation meddling in the relationship, but ABSOLUTELY NO GROVELING before a heat reconnects the MCs. Honestly if it was named almost anything else I would have rated it higher, but I went in expecting at least some light groveling, and found none.
