Five years ago, Geeta lost her no-good husband. As in, she actually lost him. He walked out on her and she has no idea where he is, but she finds the false rumors swirling around her remote village that she killed her husband surprisingly useful. Until other women start asking for her help getting rid of their own husbands . . .
Filled with clever criminals, second chances, and wry, witty women, Parini Schroff's The Bandit Queens is a razor-sharp debut of humour and heart that serves up commentary on class, power dynamics and the role of women in society, with a feminist history lesson to boot.
"A radically feel-good story about the murder of no-good husbands by a cast of unsinkable women.” -- The New York Times Book Review
