Praise for Honor

"Rich and wide as the Euphrates river along whose banks it begins and ends, Elif Shafak has woven with masterful care and compassion one immigrant family's heartbreaking story - a story nurtured in the terrible silences between men and women trying to grow within ancient ways, all the while growing past them. I loved this book." --Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress

"Fascinating and gripping...a wonderful novel." --Rosamund Lupton, author of Sister

"A powerful book; thoughtful, provoking, and compassionate." --Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat

"Calls to mind The Color Purple in its fierceness of its engagement with male violence and its determination to see its characters to a better place. But Shafak is closer to Isabel Allende in spirit, confidence, and charm. Her portrayal of Muslim cultures, both traditional and globalizing, is as hopeful as it is politically sophisticated." --The Guardian

"Shafak is an unflinching writer...this is vivid storytelling...a gripping exploration of the darkest aspects of faith and love." --The Telegraph

"This is an extraordinarily skillfully crafted and ambitious narrative, with Shakespearian twists and turns, omens and enigmas, prophecies and destinies fulfilled ...Shafak joins writers such as Hanif Kureishi, Zadie Smith, Monica Ali...who offer us fictional glimpses of London's Others." --The Independent

"[A] stunning novel...exotic, evocative and utterly gripping." --The Times
