The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff
3.75
adventurous dark funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A dark comedy of revenge and fighting to escape the abusive relationships they have within a caste based Indian village that is controlling and limits what success a woman can have. While at times the storyline and characters were stretched to unbelievable limits, the underlying thoughts of freedom, choice and camaraderie was enjoyable.
