July 15, <\/strong>7-9 p.m. on Zoom: WTB Book Club discussion of “The Henna Artist: A Novel.” <\/em> Ten years in the making, author Alka Joshi said her mother was studying psychology in college when her father told her it was time to get married and introduced her to the man she was to marry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy mother never had the decision-making powers, but she gave me so much latitude, so much freedom. I wanted to give her that gift back,\u201d Joshi told the New York Times. \u201cI can\u2019t change her life, but I can change it in fiction. I can create a character who leaves her marriage and goes off and finds herself and finds her destiny, and her financial and emotional independence. That\u2019s where \u2018The Henna Artist\u2019 came from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
