The Bandit Queens

"'Tender, unpredictable, brimming with laugh-out-loud moments"' Tea Obreht, author of THE TIGER"'S WIFE "'Original, memorable, and endearing"' Charmaine Wilkerson, author of BLACK CAKE "'A rollicking mash-up of adventure story, thriller, dark revenge, and comedy"' Cristina Garcia, author of DREAMING IN CUBAN For Geeta, life as a widow is more peaceful than life as a wife... Until the other women in her village decide they want to be widows, too. Geeta is believed to have killed her vanished husband - a rumour she hasn"'t bothered trying to correct, because a reputation like that can keep a single woman safe in rural India. But when she"'s approached for help in ridding another wife of her abusive drunk of a husband, her reluctant agreement sets in motion a chain of events that will change the lives of all the women in the village.... A darkly irreverent and fresh take on a feminist revenge thriller, perfect for readers of My Sister the Serial Killer, Love After Love and How To Kidnap The Rich.
