Klappentext:
Par. A new edition of the bestselling memoir Shame, including additional content from the author updating her story to the present day.
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.Par.
