Event Details

Join fellow readers at the Library for an engaging discussion of Honor by Thrity Umrigar on Tuesday May 23th at 7:30 p.m.

Indian American journalist Smita has returned to India to cover a story, but reluctantly: 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. 

Copies of the book are available on Libby and may also be reserved for pickup at the library.
