Honour by Elif Shafak
Set between rural Turkey and immigrant London, this story follows a family torn between love and the strict codes they carry with them. As a father drifts into self-destruction, a mother seeks solace, and the eldest son—consumed by ideas of masculine duty and family reputation—commits a devastating act that fractures his siblings and reverberates for years. Through interwoven timelines and voices, it explores migration, twinhood, guilt, and the heavy cost of tradition on belonging and forgiveness.
