About the Book

Six Days in Bombay is a riveting mystery that pulls us into the tumultuous 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. Ms. Joshi uses the life of real-life painter Amrita Sher-Gil, the "Frida Kahlo of India," as inspiration to explore how far we would travel to determine where one truly belongs.
