‘Narrative reportage at its best. Just extraordinary’ Fatima Bhutto
'A page-turner, a feminist text, and an essential read that is deeply empathetic' Deepa Anappara, author of Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line
A masterly and agenda-setting inquest into how the deaths of two teenage girls shone a light into the darkest corners of a nation
Katra Sadatganj. A tiny village in western Uttar Pradesh. A community bounded by tradition and custom; where young women are watched closely, and know what is expected of them.
It was an ordinary night when two girls, Padma and Lalli, went missing. The next day, their bodies were found – hanging in the orchard, their clothes muddied.
In the ensuing months, the investigation into their deaths would implode everything that their small community held to be true, and instigated a national conversation about sex, honour and violence.
The Good Girls returns to the scene of Padma and Lalli’s short lives and shocking deaths, daring to ask: what is the human cost of shame?©2021 Sonia Faleiro (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Reseñas de la crítica
Sonia Faleiro ’s meticulously researched investigation results in a powerful, unflinching account of misogyny, female shame and the notion of honour
A haunting piece of narrative reporting that lingers in the mind long after the final page is turned. It is difficult to read but difficult to put down. For understanding the challenges facing young women today it is essential reading
At once shocking and mundane, quiet and loud, understated and savage
Faleiro’s pithy, cliffhanging chapters fuse true crime with big-picture analysis, blending data with interviews and detail ... A powerful indictment of a society failing its most vulnerable members
Transfixing; it has the pacing and mood of a whodunit, but no clear reveal
A puzzle with a surprise at the end ... A riveting, terrible tale, one all too common, but Faleiro’s gorgeous prose makes it bearable
A desperate reflection on the status of women ... Faleiro has taken exceptional pains to recreate the events as they unfolded
Traces the tragic mystery surrounding the deaths of two teenagers found hanging in an Indian mango orchard
A compelling whodunnit ... Faleiro writes sensitively about her subjects’ actions and motivations, while the investigation reaches its final devastating revelation
An insightful work of reportage that highlights how gender intersects with class and caste in Indian society. It's a page-turner, a feminist text, and an essential read that is deeply empathetic towards its two main subjects who no longer have a voice (Deepa Anappara, author of Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line)
A compassionate, timely and necessary book that explores the issues of sex, violence, shame, honour and what it is to be a girl growing up in modern India
Searing ... A riveting - sometimes astonishing - work of forensic journalism that chronicles the girls’ lives as well as the circumstances of their death
A major piece of reportage ... Makes for tough but necessary reading
A stunning look at an investigation that was more about caste culture, poverty and the oppression of women than justice
Narrative reportage at its best. Just extraordinary (Fatima Bhutto)
In this true story of the mysterious death of two girls, Sonia Faleiro confronts us with what it means to be young, poor, powerless and most importantly, female, in much of today's India ... The Good Girls left me shattered (Abhijit Banerjee, Nobel Prize winner)
Expertly recreates the conflicting narrative of what happened in a rural part of India ... It is a shocking read
Praise for Sonia Faleiro: ‘A tour de force of reportage, whose depth, insight and resonance make it the equal of the best fiction
A small masterpiece of observation … Opens up a hidden world with startling insight and intimacy (WILLIAM DALRYMPLE)
Faleiro brings a novelist’s eye for detail and a depth of empathy to her work. A magnificent book of reportage that is also endowed with all the terror and beauty of art (KIRAN DESAI)
