The Sari Shop Widow
Order Today
Pungent curry…sweet fried onions…incense…colorful beads…
lush fabrics. Shobhan Bantwal's compelling new novel is set
on the streets of Edison, New Jersey's Little India, where
a young businesswoman rediscovers the magic of love and
family… Since becoming a widow at age twenty-seven, Anjali Kapadia
has devoted herself to transforming her parents' sari shop
into a chic boutique, brimming with exquisite jewelry and
clothing. Now, ten years later, it stands out like a proud
maharani amid Edison's bustling Little India. But when
Anjali learns the shop is on the brink of bankruptcy, she
feels her world unraveling… To the rescue comes Anjali's wealthy, dictatorial Uncle
Jeevan and his business partner, Rishi Shah--a mysterious
Londoner, complete with British accent, cool gray eyes, and
skin so fair it makes it hard to believe he's Indian.
Rishi's cool, foreign demeanor triggers distrust in Anjali
and her mother. But for Anjali, he also stirs something
else, a powerful attraction she hasn't felt in a decade.
And the feeling is mutual… Love disappointed Anjali once before and she's vowed to
live without it...though Rishi is slowly melting her
resolve and, as the shop regains its footing, gaining her
trust. But when a secret from Rishi's past is revealed,
Anjali must turn to her family and her strong cultural
upbringing to guide her in finding the truth...
