Not wanting to reveal the truth, Geeta reluctantly agrees, but this one small murderous favour sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything-and not just for Geeta, but for Saloni, and Farah, and all the women in their village. Farah's husband, Samir, is an abusive drunk and she's ready to be rid of him, so she asks Geeta for help, appealing to her expertise. But that all changes when another member of the group approaches Geeta with a problem of her own. She's an outcast in her town, estranged from her childhood best friend, Saloni, and from the rest of the women in her microloan group. In rural India, Geeta is believed to have killed her vanished husband-but she hasn't wasted too much time trying to correct the record, because as a single woman her new reputation has been the one thing keeping her safe all these years. In rural India, an isolated woman falsely accused of killing her vanished husband becomes an unwilling consultant to other aspiring widows. ![]()
