À propos de cet audio

THE JANUARY 2022 REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

“In the way A Thousand Splendid Suns told of Afghanistan’s women, Thrity Umrigar tells a story of India with the intimacy of one who knows the many facets of a land both modern and ancient, awash in contradictions.” —Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours


In this riveting and immersive novel, bestselling author Thrity Umrigar tells the story of two couples and the sometimes dangerous and heartbreaking challenges of love across a cultural divide.

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. While Meena’s fate hangs in the balance, Smita tries in every way she can to right the scales. She also finds herself increasingly drawn to Mohan, an Indian man she meets while on assignment. But the dual love stories of Honor are as different as the cultures of Meena and Smita themselves: Smita realizes she has the freedom to enter into a casual affair, knowing she can decide later how much it means to her.

In this tender and evocative novel about love, hope, familial devotion, betrayal, and sacrifice, Thrity Umrigar shows us two courageous women trying to navigate how to be true to their homelands and themselves at the same time.

My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a story beautifully written by Thrity Umrigar and accurately narrated by Sneha Mathan. I could not put this down. I loved listening to this audiobook because I felt it was brought to life. I loved how Meena and Smita Agarwal’s stories were told in a way where they are easy to relate to. Meena tells you her story so beautifully and is so full of life when speaking about her love for her late husband Abdul. Meena is surrounded by high spirited individuals, such as her sister Radha and Abdul that insist she follow her heart, and not be be burdened by her brothers’/ village’s expectations. In contrast, her brothers whom she spent her whole life honouring, turn on her the second she announces her love for a Muslim man (Abdul).

These stories show much discrimination people face because of their religious beliefs and how “honour” can make people turn against their own flesh and blood. Most importantly, I loved how Smita discovers a love for India that was once lost. India is almost described in this book as a person with beauty, tradition and honour. At the same time much of its flaws are mentioned, which particularly refer to the disparities that people may face depending on your religion, nationality, class, economic status, gender and privilege.

so much to reflect and think about with this book, laced with some romanticism ideas that makes living in this reality of twisted honor society bearable, the writing is very good, the performance brings the story to life as well. I enjoyed it very much.

sad, raw, amd yet hopeful at the end

What an inspirational story. It’s full of love and paradoxical emotions. It would be the same for many other people from other cultures. Performance was excellent.

Full of hope
