# The Good Girls: An Ordinary Killing - Hardcover

by **Sonia Faleiro** (Author)

**By the award-winning writer of _Beautiful Thing_, _The Good Girls_ is a masterly inquest into how the mysterious deaths of two teenage girls shone a light into the darkest corners of a nation.**

On a summer night in 2014, Padma and Lalli went missing from Katra Sadatganj, an eye-blink of a village in western Uttar Pradesh. Hours later they were found hanging in the orchard behind their home. Who they were, and what had happened to them, was already less important than what their disappearance meant to the people left behind.

Slipping deftly behind political maneuvering, caste systems and codes of honor in a village in northern India, _The Good Girls_ returns to the scene of their short lives and shameful deaths, and dares to ask: What is the human cost of shame?
