'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?
