A review by laurenmidna
The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi

5.0

The writing in this book is absolutely lush - vivid and full of life. I don’t know very much about the traditions in India, and this felt like a good first peek into it. I’ve never really thought too much about the process of making Henna, but now I have a new appreciation for it. The book also made me think twice about some of the privileges I take for granted - the balance of a modern and more traditional life for a woman is something we’ve made great strides in.
