While sometimes heavy in its message, it is always realistic. Smita becomes embedded in this world she wanted nothing to do with. But when she is sidelined with a hip injury, she calls on her friend, Smita (born in India and a terrible secret of her own), to help. Not just because another woman was involved in an Honor Killing, but because she is willing to stand up to her brothers and centuries of traditional patriarchy to sue them. When a Hindu woman and her Muslim husband, are attacked by her brothers, killing her husband, an American reporter takes on her story. The Beauty and The Beast of this country with its different cultures, traditions, physical light and ugly are out in the open. The world of India is opened in a way few know within the pages of Honor by Thirty Umrigar.
