Honor
In this riveting and immersive novel, a Reese's Book Club pick, bestselling author Thrity Umrigar tells the story of two couples and the sometimes dangerous and heartbreaking challenges of love across a cultural divide in India. Umrigar's new novel, The Museum of Failures, a Book Riot Best Book of 2023, is available now, too.

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

I en öde ruin på en avlägsen bergstopp någonstans i Sydamerika härjar en rebellgrupp bestående av åtta ungdomar. De vaktar sin mjölkko, och en krigsfånge de håller som gisslan. När en räddningsaktion driver rebellerna på flykt inleds en mardrömslik maktkamp på liv och död. En berättelse om vänskap och överlevnad, som kritikerna hyllat och liknat vid "Flugornas herre".

Honor
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.
