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.

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, How To Kidnap The Rich and the Sharon Horgan series Bad Sisters.

Zustand: Bueno. : En 'Bandit Queens', Parini Shroff nos presenta a Geeta, una viuda que encuentra más paz en su soledad que en su matrimonio. Sin embargo, su tranquilidad se ve interrumpida cuando las demás mujeres de su aldea deciden que también quieren ser viudas. Esta novela explora temas de amistad femenina, venganza y la búsqueda de la independencia en un contexto social desafiante, todo ello con un toque de humor negro. Ambientada en la India, la historia ofrece una mirada mordaz y entretenida a las vidas de estas mujeres.
