Through the story of two women, Honor by Thrity Umrigar tackles many issues surrounding even modern day India - poverty, corruption, religious tensions, and, most of all, violence against women. This view is tempered through the depiction of Mohan, who embodies a passion for his homeland and a vision of what it could be. Both Meena and Smita are memorable characters, and the events described so tragic that the book will stay with me for a long time.
