The daughter of Indian immigrants, she's spent most of her twenty-odd years distancing herself from the traditional Sikh community of her childhood, preferring a more independent (that is, Western) life. When her father's death leaves the family financially strapped, Nikki, a law school dropout, impulsively takes a job teaching a "creative writing" course at the community center in the beating heart of London's close-knit Punjabi community. Because of a miscommunication, the proper Sikh widows who show up are expecting to learn basic English literacy, not the art of short-story writing. When one of the widows finds a book of sexy stories in English and shares it with the class, Nikki realizes that beneath their white dupattas, her students have a wealth of fantasies and memories. Eager to liberate these modest women, she teaches them how to express their untold stories, unleashing creativity of the most unexpected-and exciting-kind. As more women are drawn to the class, Nikki warns her students to keep their work secret from the Brotherhood, a group of highly conservative young men who have appointed themselves the community's "moral police." But when the widows' gossip offers shocking insights into the death of a young wife-a modern woman like Nikki-and some of the class erotica is shared among friends, it sparks a scandal that threatens them all. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Panjabis (South Asian people) $z London $z London $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z London $z London $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Syal, Meera, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11870611 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780062680563_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E6314E04DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
