About this listen

 Reese Witherspoon’s March Book Club Pick!

‘Big-hearted, earthy and funny… A rattlingly good story’ Deborah Moggach, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Every woman has a secret life…

When Nikki takes a creative writing job at her local temple, with visions of emancipating the women of the community she left behind as a self-important teenager, she’s shocked to discover a group of barely literate women who have no interest in her ideals.

Yet to her surprise, the white dupatta of the widow hides more than just their modesty – these are women who have spent their lives in the shadows of fathers, brothers and husbands; being dutiful, raising children and going to temple, but whose inner lives are as rich and fruitful as their untold stories. But as they begin to open up to each other about womanhood, sexuality, and the dark secrets within the community, Nikki realises that the illicit nature of the class may place them all in danger.

East meets west and tradition clashes with modernity in a thought-provoking cross-cultural novel that might make you look again at the women in your life…

Critic reviews

"Big-hearted, earthy and funny: turns so many preconceptions upside down and opens up a world that so many of us have only glimpsed. A rattlingly good story." (Deborah Moggach, author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel)
"Compulsive, funny and wonderfully original - this novel glows with witty sensuality. I love it." (Helen Lederer, author of Losing It)
"Poignant, intelligent yet wickedly funny - a delightful read that reignites one's belief in the power of sisterhood." (June Sarpong)

this was a great story read by someone so familiar it's as if a friend is reading it. loved that it gave a voice to women who are so often appearsilent due to the inability to speak to women outside their community. it also touches on difficult subjects but ultimately shows we're all the same whatever our creed or age.

the narration is brilliant

This was a very easy listen and Meera is the ideal narrator. It's not the best written story but something funny for a very light hearted read. It also portrays very real cultural issues

A good chuckle

struggled to finish. Idea and concept was good though. but could have been better in editing department. unnecessary details tends to lose objectivity of the story

unnecessary details. too long.

Meera Syal's performance brings this book and it's characters to life. Fans of Alexander McCall Smith should give this book a try.

brilliant performance

This book was brilliant, unusual and sometimes difficult topic, full of humour, interesting twists in the story, great characters not often depicted in literature , and wonderfully read by Meera Syal .i could never have imagined that writing erotic stories is a feminist endeavour!

A wonderful read

Unexpected, made me laugh but also touched a chord. Oh, and be prepared for some very erotic tales.

Erotica but with a soul

I loved this book! It started by making me laugh out loud followed by a much deeper and sinister story but that was ok too as it finished perfectly with a mother daughter relationship in a much better place! Truly splendid read!

Wonderful!
