Honor by Thrity Umrigar
5.0
• Kindle ebook • Chirp audiobook • 5 Stars
I’ve never read an Umrigar novel that I didn’t really enjoy. This one explores the themes of honor killing, caste, religion, gender, violence, and identity in India through the perspectives of two women. Smita is an Indian-American journalist, and Meena, a Hindu woman who married a Muslim man and faced a brutal attack by her brothers.
