Six Days in Bombay: A Journey Through Art and Identity—Unraveling Secrets Across Europe in the Wake of a Painter's Death

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Henna Artist, this novel follows Sona, a nurse in Bombay who becomes connected to Mira Novak, a renowned painter admitted to Wadia hospital after a miscarriage. Drawn to Mira's stories of travel and her half-Indian identity, Sona learns of the painter's many lovers scattered across Europe. When Mira dies suddenly and mysteriously, Sona falls under suspicion. To prove her innocence, Sona must travel across Europe—visiting Prague, Florence, Paris, and London—following clues left in a cryptic note and four paintings. Her journey becomes one of self-discovery as she uncovers the truth behind the painter's death and learns that Mira's charming exterior concealed a more complicated and troubled person. The novel draws inspiration from the life of painter Amrita Sher-Gil as it explores questions of identity and belonging.
