About this book:

The Burfee Seller's Daughters follows Tzarina and Jaynab Mithaiwala, daughters of a famous Muslim confectioner whose House of Burfee has become a beloved institution. Tzarina breaks with tradition to inherit her father’s business empire. In the meantime, her younger sister Jaynab’s messy marriage forces her to re-evaluate her life.

As family secrets and past loves resurface, both sisters navigate the delicate balance between upholding the Mithaiwala heritage and forging their own paths.
