Ardaigle is recommending The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff to everyone. “The humor is dark, but the characters (mostly women) are authentic, interesting and very relatable as they try to navigate the world of men while finding ways to advocate for themselves in a world that doesn’t want them to do much at all.” Which books are you recommending?
