Honor by Thrity Umrigar

5.0

I don’t even know where to begin. This book is a compilation of a lot of pressing issue not only in India but all around the world about the abuse and torture of women. The basis lies in the archaic values of honor in which women are the property of men and beneath all. This book was so emotional to be being an Indian American and I felt a kinship with SMITA where she longed for a connection to india but also couldn’t deny the problems and vulgarity that lay there especially for women. This is a must read for any immigraient kids out there that have parents who left their countries for a better life.
