Daughters of the Pink City
Jaipur, colonial India. Sixteen-year-old Deepa’s life is turned upside down when her mother mysteriously disappears, leaving her and her younger brother in the care of strict grandparents. In a world governed by tradition and rigid expectations for women, Deepa discovers kathak, a classical Indian dance that awakens her passion and offers a glimpse of freedom. Secretly training with a courtesan, she risks defying her family to pursue her art—and uncovers buried secrets about forbidden love, betrayal, and her mother’s past. A richly layered historical novel about female resilience, artistic expression, and the courage to choose your own destiny.
