"...Shroff's debut novel is at once immensely sad—women want Geeta to help them get revenge on rapists and even a husband who threw acid on his wife's face—but it has laugh-out-loud moments too, as the women learn to stand up to the men in their village, and Geeta forms a relationship with a good man and learns to make friends ... This is a deeply human book, with women surviving and overcoming in their culture while still remaining a part of it."
"...The Bandit Queens is a difficult novel to categorize. It has elements of mystery and suspense but does not easily slot into those genres. It also contains plenty of humor, much of it fairly dark. Even the humor comments obliquely on gender issues ... Rather than trying to force the book into a particular type, readers would be better served to simply immerse themselves in the story and follow the unexpected journey of Geeta and her friends wherever it may lead..."
