Alka Joshi
Six Days in Bombay
A Novel

Inspired by the life of painter Amrita Sher-Gil, Six Days in Bombay opens in 1937, in the hospital where Jewish Indian painter Mira Novak is recovering from a miscarriage. Novak dies under suspicious circumstances after giving her nurse Sona three paintings and a cryptic note begging her to deliver them to Mira’s former lovers in Europe, where anti-fascist resistance mirrors India’s independence movement. Under suspicion for Mira’s death, Sona sets out on a journey of adventure and finds a life she could never have anticipated.
