Her fourth release (4/15/2025), Six Days in Bombay, is a sweeping travelogue spanning a young women’s journey from 1937 India to a turbulent Europe as she comes into her own. It’s Alka’s first standalone novel, and will be followed by a fifth in 2026.
Her debut novel, The Henna Artist, immediately became a New York Times Bestseller, a Reese Witherspoon Bookclub Pick, an LA Times Bestseller, a Toronto Star Bestseller, an Indie Bookstores Bestseller, a Cosmopolitan Best Audiobook, and an Amazon and Goodreads favorite. It was also longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, has been translated into 29 languages, and is currently in development as an episodic series.
