Alka Joshi (The Secret Keeper of Jaipur) is on the Radar!
from BOOKSTORM · host Christen Civiletto & Chris Storm
Join us as we discuss The Secret Keeper of Jaipur with best-selling author Alka Joshi! This story, although it stands alone, is a follow up to The Henna Artist, her immensely popular novel that was published in 2020. We explore universal themes of power, class, respect, corruption, and parenthood … all against the backdrop of 1960s India. We were fascinated by Alka’s thoughts on Indian society (did you know that families may work with a jeweler for generations?), the natural world, and western versus eastern medicine. Are these different approaches to medicine mutually exclusive? We broached the study of healing plants, biodiversity, and ethnobotany. We also addressed finding your way in life, the importance of mentors, integrity, and letting go of our children to allow them to be who they were meant to be. Beautiful and riveting! You can find more of your favorite bestselling authors at BOOKSTORM Podcast! We're also on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube!
