Description
Shame is a heart-rending true story about a young girl's struggle to escape from a world where family honour mattered more than anything. At 14, Jasvinder Sanghera was shown a photo of the man chosen to be her husband, and she ran away from home in terror. Her parents' disownment only added to her grief, but Jasvinder's story is one of triumph over adversity. This updated edition includes additional content from the author, bringing her harrowing struggle against a punitive code of honour up to the present day. Jasvinder's account is a powerful exploration of terrible oppression and the human spirit's capacity for resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity.
