Oh I am so excited as well! Can't wait for the third book out yet. Are you saying they are also filming this? Now I really can't wait! Thank you

Yes, THE HENNA ARTIST limited series is in development currently and will be filming (fingers crossed that COVID doesn't get in the way) in late 2022 or early 2023 in India! I can't wait to see the scene where Lakshmi is dancing on her patterned floor, the map of her life :-)

First and foremost, I have to tell you that I loved the Jaipor Trilogy. I really enjoyed reading about the trials that everyone goes through and the grace that helps them get to the other side. I know that since it is called a trilogy that this is the end but is there any possibility that there may be a continuation, maybe from Niki's point of view?

Can you truly understand what it is like for a woman growing up in India when you left at such an early age? One Indian reviewer said you wrote for white women, not for what it was like for true Indian women. "I found the narrator, Lakshmi Shastri, a henna artist who reads Dickens and Jane Austen, rather unbelievable. Her explanations on what Indians do and don’t do seem written for that white woman audience."
