Perveen Mistry Books In Order
Set in 1920s Bombay, the Perveen Mistry series follows India’s only female lawyer.
Courageous and smart, Perveen solves mysteries and murders for her clients while championing their rights, although she must work at her father’s law firm since practising law independently is not an option for women at the time. Sujata Massey based the character on two historical trailblazing women lawyers, Cornelia Sorabji and Mithan Tata Lam.
Readers love the books for their vivid depictions of Bombay in the 1920s and for the rich insights into the lives of people during that era. The mysteries are clever and engaging, weaving in themes of class divisions, family dynamics, and the challenges faced by professional women.
Currently, Sujata Massey has written one short story featuring Perveen called Outnumbered at Oxford which is featured in her volume of collected short stories, India Gray.
