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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $z India $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interfaith marriage $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Honor $x Religious aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a East Indian American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women journalists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033257.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220630011812.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220630010624.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220507010235.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220426010135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2AB1D7CCC52611EC906460AF4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
