A review by kaylarust94
Honour by Elif Shafak

5.0

This one might be my favorite Elif Shafak novel so far.

Shafak writes such full characters and gives you so much information and backstory for each person. The care she takes really comes through for the story and creates a beautiful picture. That said, it makes for a slower read, but I love that about her novels, but is good to be aware of when starting.

This story portrayed the role honor and shame play in a Türk’s life. I think it especially communicated well the specific challenge women face in this country, and I was really moved by the story.
