Coming Events
Exploring India through the Lens of Novelists
Interested in traveling to India but don’t want to leave your cozy armchair? We have launched a book group that focuses on Indian novels. The book discussion is hybrid—in person and on Zoom—and meets every two months on the second Friday of the month, usually at 5:30-6:30 (EST) but check the time for each event.
Our next book is Honor by Thrity Umrigar
Honor is a story about an Indian American journalist Smita who returns to India to cover a story about a Hindu woman attacked by members of her own village and her family for marrying a Muslim man. As Smita tries to help the woman escape the brutal treatment, she is confronted by her own painful past. This is a story about love, familial devotion, betrayal, and sacrifice.
