The Bombay Prince - Sujata Massey

 The Bombay Prince - Sujata Massey

She read; he will read it

Beautifully, yet simply written, this book reads as though it was written when it takes place….1921. Highly evocative, the author paints a vivid picture of time and place and I loved the luscious description of the clothing.  I almost felt as though unraveling the mystery was secondary to learning about Bombay society in this era as an independence movement burgeons.


Purveen Mistry, the first woman solicitor in Bombay, is a strong, independent character 

I didn’t realize that this was the third in a series; it is, then, the first I have read. It was a delightful introduction this author and her characters.
