Join us for this month’s session of Beth’s Book Club. This month we’ll be discussing "The Bandit Queens" by Parini Shroff. Per Goodreads…
"Geeta's no-good husband disappeared five years ago. She didn't K*ll him, but everyone thinks she did--no matter how much she protests.
But she soon discovers that being known as a "self-made" widow has some surprising perks. No one messes with her, no one threatens her, and no one tries to control (ahem, marry) her. It's even been good for her business; no one wants to risk getting on her bad side by not buying her jewelry.
Freedom must look good on Geeta, because other women in the village have started asking for her help to get rid of their own no-good husbands...but not all of them are asking nicely.
Now that Geeta's fearsome reputation has become a double-edged sword, she must decide how far to go to protect it, along with the life she's built. Because even the best-laid plans of would-be widows tend to go awry."
Two sessions will be held on Thursday, November 12th at 1:30pm and Saturday, November 14th at 1:30pm. No registration is necessary. The book is available for check out at the Reference Desk along with a sheet of discussion questions.
