STAFF PICK OF THE WEEK IS <\/strong>\u201cThe Secret Keeper of Jaipur\u201d by Alka Joshi.<\/p>\n (from book jacket) It\u2019s the spring of 1969, and Lakshmi, now married to Dr. Jay Kumar, directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Malik has finished his private school education. At twenty, he has just met a young woman named Nimmi when he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace. Their latest project: a state-of-the-art cinema.<\/em><\/p>\n Malik soon finds that not much has changed as he navigates the Pink City of his childhood. Power and money still move seamlessly among the wealthy class, and favors flow from Jaipur\u2019s Royal Palace, but only if certain secrets remain buried. When the cinema\u2019s balcony tragically collapses on opening night, blame is placed where it is convenient. But Malik suspects something far darker and sets out to uncover the truth. As a former street child, he always knew to keep his own counsel; it\u2019s a lesson that will serve him as he untangles a web of lies.<\/em><\/p>\n Join Indi on Facebook Live Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for the Afterschool Program.
