Honor
by Thrity Umrigar

Honor by Thrity Umrigar (9/14/2021)

Two separate stories are shared in Honor. However, both stories intertwine together to make a powerful telling of women's role/place in India. Smita is an American born in India who ends up covering a story about Meeta. Meeta is Hindu (Indian) who married a Muslim man, setting in motion catastrophic events. It was a depressing read, but the story was good.

The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World: A Novel
by Laura Imai Messina

The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World (12/18/2020)

The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World is an exploration on grief and love. The lyrical prose was excellent. As I was reading this book, I was transported into the main character's grief. I felt what the character was feeling and was unable to stop reading this book. It was sad, but uplifting at the same time. I highly recommend this book.

Creatures

Creatures (10/20/2019)

I was completely disappointed by this book. The synopsis seemed intriguing; however, this book needed some editing. The timeline was not linear and it was confusing to keep up with the constant changing time periods. Some of the writing was beautiful, but quickly changed to curt dialog. I think this book didn't have a clear focus or direction, leaving me to question its' purpose.
