“The seasons drift. Time is fluid and people change. But I have never lost faith... even if the world turned upside down I could still find you.”
Threads of Time

Sonia Faleiro
“Elles étaient convaincues que ces hommes, qui comptaient pourtant parmi eux leurs propres pères, leurs oncles et cousins, "les tueraient s'ils les retrouvaient". Sohan Lal l'avait dit-lui même à la Dr Srivastava. À la question "Si les filles avaient été retrouvées vivantes, qu'auriez-vous fait pour laver l'honneur de votre famille ? " , il avait répondu par ces mots : "On les aurait tuées.”
Sonia Faleiro, The Good Girls: An Ordinary Killing
