Honoured

'Remarkable' Elif Shafak, Observer 'Striking' New Statesman 'Inspiring' Riz Ahmed 'Astounding' Monica Ali 'Frank and fearless' Baroness Gohir 'A must-read' Lorraine Kelly 'You will be knocked sideways' Andrew Marr 'I was never allowed to forget: honour belonged to men, and women were responsible for the shame.' By the age of five, Naz Shah was used to the sight of her father beating her mother. At six, her father left the family for a teenage neighbour. At twelve, she was sent to Pakistan for protection from her mother's new abuser, only to be forced into marriage at the age of fifteen. At twenty, her mother was jailed for murder. In this singularly extraordinary memoir, Naz lays bare a lifetime's struggle against the forces of patriarchy and reveals how growing up against impossible odds lit the fire that still drives her today.
