Description
One evening in May 2014, in a small village in northern India, two teenage girls, friends and cousins, disappeared. Early in the morning, they were found hanging from a tree in the orchard. What had happened in those few hours? The truth seems less important to their family and the villagers than the rumour that is already spreading: they mustn't have done anything indecent...
The family's reputation must be saved at all costs.
Based on a chilling news item, Sonia Faleiro depicts the mechanisms of an ultra-hierarchical society where honour is the most precious thing a woman can possess, above and beyond her own life...
