"Six Days in Bombay is a sparkling travelogue and a poignant journey of self-discovery all in one. Alka Joshi is simply the best!" --Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Rose Code "Six Days in Bombay is more than a skillfully-told story of sudden friendship and mysterious death. It is the story of two women who embark on a journey to answer that thorny question: 'What are you?' Each straddling race, culture, and class, they search for belonging in a society that insists on clear definitions of identity and status. Once again, Alka Joshi deftly slid my feet into the shoes of a protagonist of another time and place, and I was swept away." --Susanne Pari, author of In the Time of Our History & The Fortune Catcher "Six Days in Bombay is a great adventure story. Starting in India, then taking us through the crumbling world of Europe in the late 1930s, it's both big and intimate, a large canvas for a detailed portrait. Memorable, original, and thoroughly engaging, this is a tale of loss and learning and love." --Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves "Alka Joshi ushers readers into a world on the cusp of war, and an Indian empire on the edge of independence, both of which serve as a cleverly drawn and fitting backdrop for the story of a woman seeking answers about her own complicated identity .

A compelling and richly textured tale of art, loss, identity, and independence, SIX DAYS IN BOMBAY shines." --Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau "Sweeping, propulsive, and wise, you won't be able to put this one down." --Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, New York Times bestselling author of The Revisionists "Six Days in Bombay is a stirring, thoroughly immersive read filled with an unforgettable cast of characters, transporting settings, an intriguing quest, and a beautiful homage to the enduring bonds that connect us. Riveting, resonant, and richly detailed, this is a must read!" --Chanel Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of Next Year in Havana "Six Days in Bombay is a riveting mystery that pulls us into the exciting world of the late 1930s, where a young woman in search of her identity must leave the safe haven she knows in Bombay and travel to an increasingly dangerous Europe. Engaging, exhilarating, and hugely enjoyable." --Chitra Divakaruni, Bestselling Author of Independence and The Last Queen.
