The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff ~ a Review

by MK French

Though Geeta's husband walked out on her five years ago, rumors in the village said she killed him. This gives her an amount of freedom and possibly an edge in selling her jewelry, and it's enough for other women in the village to gently (as well as not so gently!) ask for help to get rid of their husbands. Geeta's dangerous reputation is starting to cause trouble, threatening to ruin the life she built for herself.
