THE NEW YORK TIMES BETSELLING TRILOGY

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

"Powerful and evocative.” —Kate Quinn

The Henna Artist
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK
Vivid and compelling, 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. Years later, she is confronted by her husband who has tracked her down 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.

The Secret Keeper of Jaipur
It’s the spring of 1969 and Lakshmi now directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Malik, her protégé, has finished his private school education, and at twenty, he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace. Their latest project: a state-of-the-art cinema. Malik soon finds that power and money move seamlessly among the wealthy class, and favors flow from Jaipur’s Royal Palace, but only if certain secrets remain buried. When the cinema’s balcony tragically collapses on opening night, blame is placed where it is convenient. But Malik suspects something far darker and sets out to uncover the truth.

The Perfumist of Paris
Paris, 1974. Radha, Lakshmi's younger sister, is living in Paris with her husband and their two daughters, to whom she is devoted, when she finally discovers her passion—the treasure trove of scents. She has an exciting and challenging position working for a master perfumer, helping to design completely new fragrances for clients and building her career one scent at a time. She only wishes Pierre could understand her need to work. She feels his frustration, but she can’t give up this thing that drives her. Tasked with her first major project, Radha travels to India, where she enlists the help of her sister, Lakshmi, and the courtesans of Agra—women who use the power of fragrance to seduce, tease and entice. She’s on the cusp of a breakthrough when she finds out a secret she's kept from her husband for years is about to be revealed, upending her carefully managed world and threatening to destroy a vulnerable marriage.

The scenery, customs, history, culture, colors, snd scents are quite uniquely painted by the artistic hand of this writer. The books are so beautifully crafted that they take the reader into the story like an insider revisiting home after many years away. Loved each book and cannot wait to visit India.

Delightful trilogy about traditions and expectations. I really enjoyed the Henna Artist and the Perfumist; the Secret if Jaipur, fell flat. Gigi was in everything and doing everything; overbearing. The Perfumist ended the trilogy and brought the stories full circle.

Traditions

I listened to all 3 stories and immediately started over to capture what I had missed as I got used to the delicious accent and unfamiliar terms. The PDF was immensely helpful once I had a chance to look at it. I often listen while I'm driving.
The only thing that I didn't like was that it ended. I felt like I had moved away from my favorite sister. I'm looking forward to hearing many more stories from the author through the voice of the narrator.

Beautifully narrated captivating story lines

Yes, one could read each novel without the others, but the characters are so fully developed that you want to learn more about their thoughts, motivations, & lives. Beautiful details of every location and even the "minor" characters are so rich. This is well worth the time to listen to the entire trilogy.

What Beauty Throughout Each Story!
