An honor killing shatters and transforms the lives of Turkish immigrants in 1970s London. Internationally best-selling Turkish author Elif Shafak’s new novel is a dramatic tale of families, love, and misunderstandings that follows the destinies of twin sisters born in a Kurdish village. While Jamila stays to become a midwife, Pembe follows her Turkish husband, Adem, to London, where they hope to make new lives for themselves and their children. In London, they face a choice: stay loyal to the old traditions or try their best to fit in. After Adem abandons his family, Iskender, the eldest son, must step in and become the one who will not let any shame come to the family name. And when Pembe begins a chaste affair with a man named Elias, Iskender will discover that you could love someone with all your heart and yet be ready to hurt them. Just published to great acclaim in England, Honor is a powerful, gripping exploration of guilt and innocence, loyalty and betrayal, and the trials of the immigrant, as well as the love and heartbreak that too often tear families apart.

In general I like the book, the story was powerful and very well written and performed. Through the views of so many different characters and situations the reader/listener can get a more broader picture of the circumstances that led to the tragedy. The unexpected ending was interesting, but I felt that there is something missing at the end of the story.
I didn’t like the chapters that go back and forth between different time spans, different countries and characters. That made the story unnecessarily confusing from time to time and hard to follow.

Tragic topic but a great book
