In this debut novel by Shobha Rao, two girls form an enduring bond that spans conflict and continents. Though they both live in poverty, Poornima and Savitha find joy in each other’s friendship, making the best out of life in their Indian village. But after a devastating act of cruelty drives Savitha away, Poornima sets out on a harrowing journey to the United States to find her friend. Alternating between each girl’s perspective, Girls Burn Brighter will surely spark conversations about domestic abuse, human trafficking, immigration, and feminism. Depictions of violence and sexual assault make this book better suited for older readers.
