This darkly funny book really did make me laugh out loud. I enjoyed being transported to India, a place I don't usually encounter in my fiction. On the one hand the village women are empowered business owners with a mircroloan group and access to CSI TV shows to help them plan their crimes. On the other hand, men control many of the seats on the village council and the story's lead is still saving up to buy a refrigerator. There are depictions of violence against women. There are also lovely, sarcastic, and funny moments demonstrating the varaiations in women's friendships and mothers relationships with their children.
