Honour

Elif Shafak's 'Honour' follows the Toprak family's migration from rural Turkey to 1970s London, where their traditional beliefs clash with the modern world. As the children, Iskender and Esma, navigate this cultural tension, their lives are irrevocably altered by a devastating crime that exposes deep-seated conflicts of loyalty, betrayal, and the profound weight of family honour.
