![]() ![]() But she soon discovers that Shannon didn’t call her here for help in the hospital, Shannon called her so Smita could take over the story of Meena, a Hindu woman suing her brothers for the murder of her Muslim husband (which also disfigured Meena quite badly).Īs with A Burning, Honor tells the story of more than one character – there’s Meena, whose love story with her husband and her courage in pursuing justice forms the main story of the book, and there’s Smita, who left India for a reason. Honor starts when American-Indian Smita leaves her vacation in the Maldives to come to the aid of Shannon, a close friend. I’m not going to lie, I started Honor wondering if it was going to be similar to A Burning because topically, both books do look at the Muslim-Hindu tension in India (though Honor also looks at the question of gender) but by the time I finished this, I was convinced that this is going to be one of the best books of 2023 that I’ll read. ![]()
