Year 18, Book 2

2. Honor by Thrity Umrigar

I liked Meena and Smita’s stories. I got annoyed at the end though when the author turned it into a love story for Smita and Mohan. It was sort of clear that it was going to go there from the beginning, but it felt very unnecessary and unrealistic to me as if it was added just to make the horrific things that happen in the rest of the story more palatable. I give it a 6 out of 10.
