Five years ago, Geeta’s drunk and abusive husband disappeared and no one has heard from him since. The rumor in her village is that Geeta killed him and that she is a witch. Geeta doesn’t mind the solitude that these rumors provide—until other women start asking for her help to off their husbands as well, and they won’t take no for an answer.

This book was delightful. It was laugh out loud funny and full of action and suspense. It’s very much a character driven story. The book focus on a small group of women in rural India seeking to improve their circumstances, but is also sprinkled with incredible anecdotes of feminism, friendships, and revenge. Some of the humor is a bit dark but I really enjoyed it and thought it was a necessary balance to the violence the women endured. Great read!

A quote I loved: “Never send a god to do a goddess’s job.”
