Join us in welcoming Alka Joshi to the Los Altos Library Endowment's annual community event, Speaking Volumes, at the Los Altos Community Center Grand Oak Room on Tuesday, April 1 at 7pm.
Alka is the internationally bestselling author of the Jaipur Trilogy. The first novel in this planned trilogy, The Henna Artist, tells the story of seventeen-year-old Lakshmi after she escapes an abusive marriage and makes her way alone to the vibrant 1950s pink city of Jaipur. There, she becomes the most highly requested henna artist—and confidante—to the wealthy women of the upper class.
Hear Alka share the story behind the story and how this novel caught the attention of Reese Witherspoon, became a bestseller, and soon—a Netflix series.
Arrive early—this event will fill up fast. Light refreshments served.
