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.

The author does assume that one should know certain aspects of the Asian culture as she write about them in the book, however her story is moving, chilling and compelling; I read the the book in 2 days, I just couldn't put it down until I had finished.

Fantastically written story which really gives you an insight into the cultural difficulties westernised Asian young people face in society today. A must read for anyone offering support to young people facing serious cultural issues such as forced marriage. After reading this book, I feel much more prepared to empathise with and offer support to girls in the same situation as Jasvinder. ******** FANTASTIC!!!********
