5.0
just 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
i picked this up bc was recommended for mother-daughter relationships. but what i got was so much more. this was a mystery/thriller/contemporary novel that derived it all from the intricacies of the dyasporic punjabi community of southall. you are tugged into this mini-punjab on the outskirts of london, the sense of a place where everyone knows each other, and the tensions that arise from that. but most of all, you are tugged into the small classroom in the gurdwara with nikki and the widows, and the heartwarming exploration of these women, so often seen as invisible, of their sexuality, their empowerment through their bonding and discovering their own creative voices.
