520    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.
