Honor
by Thrity Umrigar
Finding home (11/1/2021)
Thrity Umrigar takes us on a journey to India to show us the binding nature of culture, family and love in the what we identify as "home."

You will engage with Smita, Meena, Mohan and Abru through Umrigar's engrossing writing. This is not a book of distance but you will intimately learn and grow with these characters.

"Honor" is written with a compassion, power and insight that leads us all to answer the question of what home is.
