Praise for The Good Girls, "An extraordinary book studded with insights into media, media, justice, corruption, and the rules governing women's lives. Padma and Lalli-harvesting mint, enchanted by a play, seeking freedom, wishing to be something-will stay powerfully with me." "A compulsively readable whodunit, as fast-moving as a mystery novel, which at a whole deeper level offers profound observations about caste and sexuality in rural India." "The Good Girls is a page-turner, a feminist text, and an essential read that is deeply empathetic toward its two main subjects who no longer have a voice." Praise for Beautiful Thing, "Faleiro brings a novelist's eye for detail and a depth of empathy to her work. A magnificent book of reportage that is also endowed with all the terror and beauty of art." "[An] intimate and valuable book. [Faleiro's] language, like dots of colored light pinging from a smudgy mirrored ball, casts an intoxicating if unsettling glow... Will break your heart several times over... With a few strokes, Ms. Faleiro conjures a world." "Faleiro's book is a knockout. It's an unsparing, unsentimental and wickedly funny look at the worlds of the young women who dance in Bombay's bars." Book jacket.
