Synopsis
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.

Review
'SHAME is an inspiring book, not least because of its honesty.' (The Sunday Times)
'A vivid, honest and deeply moving narrative of despair, courage and hope.' (Lord Lester speaking in Parliamentary debate)
'Angry, sad and profoundly disturbing . . . a powerful read' (The London Paper)
'Unbeaten and eloquent' (Evening Standard)
'A success story to inspire anyone.' (Time Magazine)
'Heart-wrenching.' (Daily Mail)
The glossy cover doesn't prepare you for the impact this book has . . . It gives me hope that there are people like the author of this book who are willing to write their experiences with such passion and clarity. A must-read. (Asians in Media)
The last non-fiction book I read was Shame by Jasvinder Sanghera, about a British Asian woman whose parents forced her into a marriage. That was brilliant. (Cameron On Cameron by Dylan Jones)
Book Description
