Description
In a remote Indian village, Geeta’s estranged husband has been gone for years—but the rumor that she killed him has given her an unexpected measure of freedom, independence, and authority. When other women begin seeking her help with their own troublesome marriages, Geeta is drawn into a dangerous web of schemes that threatens the life she has carefully built. With razor-sharp wit and darkly comic energy, the novel explores female friendship, resilience, autonomy, and the costs of challenging entrenched social expectations. It is a lively, subversive story about women reclaiming power and creating new possibilities on their own terms.
