Longlisted for the Womens Prize for Fiction 2023. Not since Aravind Adigas The White Tiger has the rotten core of modern India been exposed in quite such blackly antic fashion as Parini Shroff manages here in this intermittently absurd, feminist revenge caper about a group of snarky, much-abused, predominantly Hindu wives. Sheer gutsy verve. The Times.
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.
