Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Pick presents a lively, sexy, and thought-provoking East-meets-West narrative centered on community, friendship, and the diverse lives of women. Nikki, a barmaid in cosmopolitan West London and the daughter of Indian immigrants, has distanced herself from her traditional Sikh upbringing. After her father's death leaves her family in financial trouble, she takes a job teaching a "creative writing" course at a community center in London’s Punjabi neighborhood. However, due to a miscommunication, her students—proper Sikh widows—expect to learn basic English literacy instead of storytelling. When one widow discovers a book of sexy stories and shares it, Nikki realizes her students harbor rich fantasies and memories. Eager to help them express their untold stories, she encourages their creativity, leading to unexpected and exciting revelations. As more women join the class, Nikki warns them to keep their work secret from the conservative Brotherhood, who act as the community's "moral police." However, when gossip about a young wife’s death and the class's erotic stories circulates, it ignites a scandal that threatens the women’s lives and their newfound voices.
