The Riverton Area Book Club will meet Saturday, September 16, from 10-11am at the Riverton Village Library. The novel, which takes place in India in the 1950s, is The Henna Artist, by Alka Joshi. Lakshmi, who has left her family to live in Jaipur, makes a living drawing henna "tattoos" for wealthy women and hopes eventually to get her own house. However, her plan is threatened by the arrival of Radha, a younger sister she did not know she had, and an abusive ex-husband Hari who meddles in Lakshmi's life. Selected as a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick and the first volume of a trilogy, the story has been picked up for TV miniseries adaptation.
