Filled with clever criminals, second chances, and wry and witty women, Parini Shroff's The Bandit Queens is a razor-sharp debut of humor and heart that readers won't soon forget. What happens next sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything, not just for Geeta but for all the women in the village. Freedom must look good on Geeta, because now other women are asking for her 'expertise' making her an unwitting consultant for husband disposal. It's even been good for business: no one dares to not buy her jewelry. No one messes with Geeta, harasses her, or tries to control (ahem, marry) her. As it happens, being known as a 'self-made' widow comes with some perks. But in her remote village in India, rumor has it that Geeta killed him. As in, she actually lost him-he walked out on her and she has no idea where he is.
