This is the second book I picked up because of Lilly's Library and really did not know what I was getting into. The only reason this is a three is because I wasn't really prepared for the subject matter, which is tough, and incredibly difficult to read. Sonia Faleiro pulls together interviews about the specific incident involving the two murdered girls and contextualizes it amidst the broader issue of violence against women in India.
It is not easy to read this book, but perhaps necessary to understand the silences and deflections where the victims and who they were and how they died just simply disappears into the wind.
