May's Middletown Book for Discussion: Honor (May 30)

 

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, May 30.  Our title is Honor by Thrity Umrigar.  Here is a brief summary:

"The story of two Indian women, one a victim of a brutal crime and the other an Americanized journalist returning to India to cover the story, and the courage they inspire in each other."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table. In addition to discussing How to Read a Book, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their April 29 meeting:
