A review by bel017
The Mistress of Bhatia House by Sujata Massey

 Perveen helps an ayah who has been accused of drinking an abortive tea. Very well researched with much detail about the extreme limits and brutal conditions placed on women. Insane misogyny is balanced with descriptions of fabulous food and intricate world building. The story is a complex web of intertwined threads all coming together in the climactic scene. Thoroughly engaging.
