Erotic stories for Punjabi widows / Balli Kaur Jaswal. by Jaswal, Balli Kaur. Thorndike Press, 2017. Call #: LP FICTION JAS Subjects Young women -- Fiction.   Women bartenders -- Fiction.   Children of immigrants -- Fiction.   Immigrant families -- Fiction.   Creative writing -- Fiction.   Culture conflict -- Fiction.   London (England) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781432843328 (large print hc.) Edition:  Large-print ed. Description:  503 p. (large print) ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Nikki lives in cosmopolitan West London, where she tends bar at the local pub. The daughter of Indian immigrants, she’s spent most of her twenty-odd years distancing herself from the traditional Sikh community of her childhood, preferring a more independent (that is, Western) life. When her father’s death leaves the family financially strapped, Nikki, a law school dropout, impulsively takes a job teaching a 'creative writing' course at the community center in the beating heart of London’s close-knit Punjabi community. Because of a miscommunication, the proper Sikh widows who show up are expecting to learn basic English literacy, not the art of short-story writing. When one of the widows finds a book of sexy stories in English and shares it with the class, Nikki realizes that beneath their white dupattas, her students have a wealth of fantasies and memories. Eager to liberate these modest women, she teaches them how to express their untold stories, unleashing creativity of the most unexpected--and exciting--kind. As more women are drawn to the class, Nikki warns her students to keep their work secret from the Brotherhood, a group of highly conservative young men who have appointed themselves the community’s 'moral police.' But when the widows’ gossip offers shocking insights into the death of a young wife--a modern woman like Nikki--and some of the class erotica is shared among friends, it sparks a scandal that threatens them all."--From publisher.
