Women's Fiction
For decades they have remained close, sharing treasured
recipes, honored customs, and the challenges of women
shaped by ancient ways yet living modern lives. They are
the Hindi-Bindi Club, a nickname given by their American
daughters to the mothers who left India to start anew—
daughters now grown and facing struggles of their own. For Kiran, Preity, and Rani, adulthood bears the indelible
stamp of their upbringing, from the ways they tweak their
mothers’ cooking to suit their Western lifestyles to the
ways they reject their mothers’ most fervent beliefs. Now,
bearing the disappointments and successes of their chosen
paths, these daughters are drawn inexorably home. Kiran, divorced, will seek a new beginning—this time
requesting the aid of an ancient tradition she once
dismissed. Preity will confront an old heartbreak—and a
hidden shame. And Rani will face her demons as an artist
and a wife. All will question whether they have the courage
of the Hindi-Bindi Club, to hold on to their dreams—or to
create new ones. An elegant tapestry of East and West, peppered with food
and ceremony, wisdom and sensuality, this luminous novel
breathes new life into timeless themes.
