From Our Book Lover-In-Chief
A powerful story about family, devotion, and cultural truths all through the eyes of an incredible journalist.
Happy new year! I read so many beautiful books over the holiday and am excited to share one that really stuck with me as my January Reese's Book Club pick! Honor by Thrity Umrigar is about an Indian-American journalist named Smita who returns to India on assignment. The story sheโs covering is an emotionally riddled one that utilizes the lives of characters to portray the cultural realities of India, both new and old. Her experiences lift the veil on the complexities of journalism and leave Smita questioning her boundaries as a reporter. Complex and unfiltered, these are the type of characters that stick with you long after you turn the pages. *This work of fiction includes references to violence that some readers may find upsetting. Every effort has been made to approach these subjects with sensitivity and respect.
