'engaging and delightful' 5 star review 'Fresh, funny and moving' 5 star review 'laugh out loud' 5 star review

British-Punjabi sisters Rajni, Jezmeen and Shirina Shergill have never been close. But now they've been thrown together on the strangest family holiday of all time...

When their mother died, she had only one request: that her daughters take a pilgrimage across India to carry out her final rites. Suddenly, the three are packing their bags and heading to the airport, together for the first time in years.

The sisters seem to have nothing in common, but they need each other now more than ever. And as the miles rack up on their family road-trip, each of them will make unexpected discoveries about themselves and each other. After all, there are no secrets between sisters...

Grab your passport and let the Shergill sisters take you on a journey - warm, life-affirming and laugh-out-loud funny, don't miss this joyful story about friendship, family, and finding home.
