Smita has a lot of complicated emotions around her return, and the details of taste, sounds, smells, and little familiar customs in the city helped to bring this to life.
I loved the sensory details in Smita’s return to India. Although Smita has already successfully covered dark and upsetting gender stories around the world, this unfinished story of an honor killing in a small village will open up parts of her past and cause her to re-examine basically everything. She thinks she’s going back to help a friend and fellow journalist recover from an injury, but really her friend Shannon wants Smita to finish covering her story while she recovers in the hospital. In Honor, by Thrity Umrigar, an Indian-American journalist, Smita, returns to India after many, many years away.
