Talking Books Discussion Group: 'Honor' by Thrity Umrigar

Wednesday, May 21, 2025
1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Cosmos Room

Indian American journalist Smita has reluctantly returned to India to cover a story. Long ago, she and her family left the country with no intention of ever coming back.

As she follows the case of Meena--a Hindu woman attacked by members of her own village and her own family for marrying a Muslim man--Smita comes face to face with a society where tradition carries more weight than one's own heart, and a story that threatens to unearth the painful secrets of Smita's own past.
