'A warming read'

'Plump with curry recipes and tales from back home ... a jaunty read'

'Depicts the striking of a balance between traditional Eastern values and modern Western ideals in a sublime and interesting read'

'Half cookbook, half tale of Eastern promise'

For decades they have remained close, sharing recipes and customs. They are the Hindi-Bindi Club, a nickname given by their daughters to the mothers who left India to start anew... daughters now facing struggles of their own. For Kiran, Preity and Rani, adulthood means balance, from the ways they tweak their mothers' cooking to rejecting their parents' beliefs. But will they have the courage of the Hindi-Bindi Club to hold on to their dreams - or create new ones?
