Description

Girls Burn Brighter by Shobha Rao is a powerful debut novel about two girls driven apart by circumstance but relentless in their search for each other. Poornima and Savitha's bond is forged in the face of adversity, as they navigate the dark underbelly of India's underworld and a harrowing cross-continental journey. Alternating between the girls' perspectives, this gripping story introduces two heroines who refuse to lose hope. With unflinching honesty, Rao explores themes of poverty, desperation, and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship. As Poornima leaves behind everything she knows to find Savitha, she embarks on a journey that takes her into the darkest corners of India's underworld and eventually to an apartment complex in Seattle. A searing and electrifying read, Girls Burn Brighter is a testament to the enduring power of hope and friendship.
