Event Details

Join us for OPL's mystery book club, Bodies in the Library. We read and discuss mystery novels stories set in various communities around the world. Intrigued? Then register and grab a copy this month's book at the library and meet us on the first Tuesday of the month in the 2nd floor conference room. 

This month we will be discussing The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey.

Bombay, 1921: Perveen Mistry, the daughter of a respected Zoroastrian family, has just joined her father's law firm, becoming one of the first female lawyers in India. Armed with a law degree from Oxford, Perveen also has a tragic personal history that makes her especially devoted to championing and protecting women's legal rights. Inspired in part by a real woman who made history by becoming India's first female lawyer, The Widows of Malabar Hill is a richly wrought story of multicultural 1920s Bombay as well as the debut of a sharp and promising new sleuth, Perveen Mistry.
