About The Bandit Queens:
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.
Rumoured to have killed her vanished husband, Geeta hasn't corrected the misconception as it keeps her safe. But when she reluctantly agrees to help another woman get rid of her abusive husband, a chain of events begins that will change the lives of all the women in her Indian village.
A darkly irreverent and fresh take on a feminist revenge thriller…..
