## Description

The Mistress of Bhatia House : MASSEY SUJATA: desertcart.in: Books

Review: It was a pleasant reading - Enticing story of the first female solicitor of Bombay trying to bring justice to another woman in need. Its a good blend of mystery and the dilemmas women have faced since time immemorial.
Review: Fell in love with old Bombay yet again - I am a huge Perveen Mistry fan. There is just something about old Bombay and Parsi culture that draws me into @sujatamasseyauthor 's beautifully created fictional world. This particular one was about a wrongful conviction and how the rich leveraged their privilege to suppress the working class for their own benefit. Perveen Mistry, Bombay's first female solicitor takes on the case and finds her way to the truth bringing justice to the deserved. Everytime I read books by Massey, I get engrossed in the wonderful depiction of life in the pre-independence era. Massey has an eccentric way of bringing out the Parsi community's finest nuances. What I enjoyed reading most about is the different varieties of food and the architecture described. I am honestly holding my breath for the next book in the series to be out. I really want to see Colin and Perveen romancing through the book. 😁

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Gripping Mystery Wrapped in 1920s Bombay
*by S***S on 8 March 2024*

Sujata Massey's "The Mistress of Bhatia House" is a stunning addition to the Perveen Mistry series. This isn't just a murder mystery; it's a richly woven tapestry of social commentary, historical detail, and a compelling central character. We find ourselves transported to 1920s Bombay, a vibrant city with stark social divisions. Perveen Mistry, a brilliant but underestimated lawyer, is drawn into the case of Sunanda, a young ayah wrongly accused. As Perveen fights for justice, she grapples with the limitations placed on women and the prejudices of the colonial system. Massey's writing is captivating. She brings the bustling streets and the opulent homes of Bombay to life. The characters are complex and believable, from the determined Perveen to the desperate Sunanda. The mystery itself is cleverly constructed, with twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. Here's what I loved most: Strong Female Lead: Perveen Mistry is an inspiring protagonist. She's intelligent, compassionate, and determined to overcome the obstacles placed in her path. Vivid Setting: The novel's portrayal of 1920s Bombay is immersive and evocative. You can practically smell the spices and feel the heat. Intricate Plot: The central mystery is well-crafted, with red herrings and surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Social Commentary: The story tackles issues of gender inequality, class prejudice, and colonialism in a thoughtful and nuanced way. Overall, "The Mistress of Bhatia House" is a must-read for historical fiction and mystery lovers alike. It's a captivating story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
