Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2023 and a BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick, this novel exposes the dark underbelly of modern India through a blackly comic feminist lens. It follows Geeta, who finds more peace as a widow than she did as a wife. When other women in her village express a desire to join her in widowhood, Geeta, rumored to have killed her missing husband, reluctantly agrees to help another woman rid herself of her abusive spouse. This decision sparks a series of transformative events for all the women in the village. Described as a darkly irreverent feminist revenge thriller, the story is perfect for fans of My Sister the Serial Killer and Bad Sisters. Critics praise it as a "radically feel-good story" filled with humor and unpredictability, showcasing a blend of adventure, thriller, dark revenge, and comedy. With its memorable characters and laugh-out-loud moments, the narrative offers a fresh perspective on women's empowerment and resilience in the face of adversity.
