Özet
"A sparkling travelogue and a poignant journey of self-discovery all in one. . . . Alka Joshi is simply the best!" —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Rose Code

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Henna Artist, this sweeping novel of identity and self-discovery takes readers from Bombay to Prague, Florence, Paris and London, to uncover the mystery behind a famous painter's death.

When renowned painter Mira Novak arrives at Wadia hospital in Bombay after a miscarriage, she's expected to make a quick recovery, and her nurse, Sona, is excited to learn more about the vivacious artist who shares her half-Indian identity. Sona, yearning for a larger life, finds herself carried away by Mira's stories of her travels and exploits and is shocked by accounts of the many lovers the painter has left scattered throughout Europe. When Mira dies quite suddenly and mysteriously, Sona falls under suspicion, and her quiet life is upended.

The key to proving Sona's innocence may lie in a cryptic note and four paintings Mira left in her care, sending the young woman on a mission to visit the painter's former friends and lovers across a tumultuous Europe teetering toward war. On the precipice of discovering her own identity, Sona learns that the painter's charming facade hid a far more complicated, troubled soul.

In her first stand-alone novel since her bestselling debut, The Henna Artist, Alka Joshi uses the life of painter Amrita Sher-Gil, the "Frida Kahlo of India," as inspiration for the story's beginning to explore how far we'll travel to determine where we truly belong.

Editorial Review

A chance meeting sparks a journey of a lifetime
Author Alka Joshi’s very popular Jaipur Trilogy concluded in 2023, so I was very happy to see this new novel by Joshi—and equally happy to see the return of her go-to narrator, Sneha Mathan. Set in the 1930s to early 1940s, Six Days in Bombay is a sweeping historical novel told through the stories of two women. Sona Falstaff is a young nurse of British and Indian descent, and Mira Novak is a young painter of Czech and Indian descent (based on real-life artist Amrita Sher-Gil). The six days Sona spends caring for Mira teaches her to dream bigger, and sets her on a life-changing journey through Bombay, Prague, Paris, Florence, and London. It’s a beautiful tale, and an easy yet richly told listen that any fan of historical fiction will adore. —Tricia F., Audible Editor
