Ramires – considered the best by many – kickstarted a love affair, and the 1970s and 1980s saw a boom in chicken restaurants, from casual spots like O Ribeirinho in Guia to smarter establishments like Sr Frango, a few miles east in Almancil. Yet you could be forgiven for missing it. Unlike, say, Whitby, where you can’t move for fish and chips, piri piri chicken isn’t the first stop for many visitors. My guidebook contained a brief mention, but fish, particularly sardines, was everywhere.

Shroff’s tone makes the novel exciting right from the beginning. She injects it with banter and ripostes exchanged among her female characters. The author uses revenge against the ‘no-good husbands’ as the driving force for the plot

The book “The Bandit Queens” by Parini Shroff is a razor-sharp debut of humor and heart that readers won’t soon forget. Five years ago, Geeta lost her no-good husband. As in: She actually lost him-he walked out on her and she has no idea where he is. But in her remote village in India, rumor has it that Geeta killed him. And it’s a rumor that just won’t die. As it happens, being known as a “self-made” widow comes with some perks.
