Shame

  • Author: Jasvinder Sanghera
  • Description:
    When she was fourteen, Jasvinder Sanghera was shown a photo of the man chosen to be her husband. She was terrified. She\'d witnessed the torment her sisters endured in their arranged marriages, so she ran away from home, grief-stricken when her parents disowned her. Shame\" is the heart-rending true story of a young girl\'s attempt to escape from a cruel, claustrophobic world where family honour mattered more than anything -- sometimes more than life itself. Jasvinder\'s story is one of terrible oppression, a harrowing struggle against a punitive code of honour -- and, finally, triumph over adversity.
