Book Synopsis
Honour killing persists across the Middle East, where regimes refrain from tackling primitive traditions for fear of sparking unrest. Based on interviews of imprisoned men in Turkey convicted of killing their mothers, sisters and daughters, this title provides an account of ruined lives - both the victims' and the killers'.
