The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff

dark emotional lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Not the book I was expecting
It's an interesting glimpse into the lives of a group of women in rural India, dealing with awful husband's, a strong patriarchy, a cats system and life. How they come to lean on each other is both light hearted and dark. 

The Author's note at the end made love the book even more.
