Book Club with Virtual Author Talk: 6 Days in Bombay by Alka Joshi

Join us in person for this month’s Book Club gathering, featuring a special virtual visit from New York Times bestselling author Alka Joshi to discuss her newest novel, 6 Days in Bombay.

Praised as “a sparkling travelogue and a poignant journey of self-discovery all in one” (Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network), Joshi’s sweeping story transports readers from Bombay to Prague, Florence, Paris, and London.

At its heart is the friendship between Sona, a young nurse longing for a larger life, and Mira Novak, a celebrated painter whose sudden and mysterious death sets Sona on an unforgettable journey across Europe. Along the way, Sona must unravel a cryptic note, safeguard four paintings, and confront the complexities of identity, love, and belonging. Inspired by the life of Amrita Sher-Gil, often called the “Frida Kahlo of India”, Joshi’s newest work blends art, history, and human connection in a richly imagined narrative.
