The Reading Voyage

Get ready for a lively afternoon as we dive into "Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows" by Balli Kaur Jaswal. Part humor, part mystery, and deeply heartwarming, this pick explores the hidden lives of women in London’s tight-knit Punjabi community.

When Nikki takes a job teaching "creative writing," she doesn't expect her students—proper Sikh widows—to trade literacy lessons for sharing their own scandalous, untold stories. We’ll discuss how these women found their voices, the clash between tradition and modern life, and the mystery that ties it all together.
