Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A hard-hitting and controversial examination of honor crimes. Common in many traditional societies around the world, as well as in migrant communities in Europe and the USA, they involve a 'punishment' — often death or disfigurement — carried out by a relative to restore the family's honor. Breaking through the conspiracy of silence, one writer above all others has been instrumental in bringing it to the world's attention: Rana Husseini. Review:"This nonfiction account should join Afghan writer Khaled Hosseini's fictive A Thousand Splendid Suns as an unforgettable example of shining the light on how contemporary atrocities committed against women have been shielded by law....A powerful and important book." Booklist (starred review) Review:"A remarkable insight into a horrifying crime and a call to action for everyone who cares about human rights. A must read." Kerry Kennedy, founder of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Human Rights, and chair of the Amnesty International USA Leadership Council About the AuthorJournalist, feminist, and human rights defender, Jordanian Rana Husseini is one of the world's most influential investigative journalists, whose reporting has put violence against women on the public agenda around the world. The recipient of numerous awards for bravery in journalism, she is a regular speaker at major international events and has been interviewed on almost every major international broadcaster, from CNN to the BCC.
