»Ich war von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite gebannt.« Reese Witherspoon Die junge Lakshmi entflieht einer gewaltsamen Ehe und schlägt sich bis in die pulsierende Großstadt Jaipur durch. Dort steigt sie durch Talent und unbeugsamen Willen zu einer der hochangesehensten Hennakünstlerinnen des Landes auf. Während sie wohlhabende Frauen mit meisterhaften Hennaverzierungen schmückt, erfährt sie so manches gut gehütete Geheimnis der indischen Elite. Dabei ist sie selbst stets dazu gezwungen, über ihre Herkunft zu schweigen. Als Lakshmi mit ihrer Vergangenheit konfrontiert wird, steht ihre hart erarbeitete Freiheit auf dem Spiel. Dochsie ist nicht bereit, kampflos aufzugeben. »Die Story [...] geht unter die Haut« Madonna »Fesselnder Roman über eine mutige Frau im Indien der 1950er-Jahre.« Myself »Die Beschreibung der Farben und Gerüche Indiens machen dieses Buch zu einem sinnlichen Hochgenuss.« Freundin
