Author Talk: Alka Joshi on 'Six Days in Bombay'

New York Times bestselling author Alka Joshi joins #AsiaSocietyTX to present her latest novel, 'Six Days in Bombay' — her first standalone novel since the breakout 'The Henna Artist' and the Jaipur Trilogy.
Inspired by the 1930s salacious Hungarian-Indian painter Amrita Sher-Gil, known as “India’s Frida Kahlo,” Joshi wrote Six Days as a tribute to the many extraordinary, free-spirited, talented women overlooked by history. Set in 1937, the novel follows Sona, a young Anglo-Indian nurse as she travels from Bombay to Istanbul, Prague, Florence, Paris, and London to uncover the mystery behind a famous painter’s death.
