Summary
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.

recommended
sneha mathan has the most beautiful voice and accent!
loved the character of maalik but the man narrating his adult voice had terrible English and hindi!
All the 3 stories were entertaining and interesting although a bit far fetched especially for the time and place but I understand poetic license is necessary. Great idea with the different perspectives and beautifully executed.
the descriptions of the designs and smells and characters were perfect and you are transported to the various locations as a reader.
just the right amount of suspense and drama without messing up the rhythm of the story.
I will say radha was as unlikeable as lakshmi was lovable.
(if you are not of an Indian background you might enjoy it more than i did)

loved the first two
I loved listening to this trilogy, which was excellently narrated. I enjoyed the characters too, the Perfumist of Paris was a little trying from midway onwards because of the main character. I would recommend these books though..
