HONOR

Sneha Mathan is a strong narrator for this complicated and painful story of forbidden love in modern-day India. Mathan is a powerful voice for Meena, a woman recovering from an attack by her family and neighbors for marrying a Muslim man. Mathan presents Meena's recovery with sensitivity that enhances our empathy and rage on her behalf. In Smita, an American journalist covering the horrific story, we see Mathan's range. Smita is confident and courageous, yet she struggles with her own views on Meena's plight. Listeners will be entranced by these overlapping stories of two unique women, expertly told by an experienced narrator. M.R.
