More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'...this is, clearly, a book that demands to be read...Onal's bravery is remarkable...her writing shows no fear.' Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian
Product Description
'Ayse Onal has done an immense service by revealing what it is like to live in an honour-based society and the terrible cost, not just to the women who are beaten and eventually killed, but to the perpetrators and other relatives' - Joan Smith. Honour killing persists across the Middle East, where regimes refrain from tackling primitive traditions for fear of sparking unrest. Ayse Onal interviewed imprisoned men in Turkey convicted of killing their mothers, sisters and daughters. The result is a revealing and ultimately tragic account of ruined lives - both the victims' and the killers' - in a country where state and religion conspire to hush up the killing of hundreds of women every year. It includes an introduction by Joan Smith.

Honour Killing,
By
This review is from: Honour Killing: Stories of Men Who Killed (Paperback)
I couldnt put this book down.. the author Ayse Onal is a remarkable writer..with a deep understanding of the subject. I felt as if I was in the room when she interviewed the sad men who killed and how their culture had turned them into murderers..
I felt I was being taken back in history.. but no, its happening all around us.. young women all over the world are being killed in the name of honour.. Mainly written about Turkish Men it still gives an insight, of whats happening all around us. Indeed even here in the UK. As a mother I am still at a loss to understand.... How any one could kill their own child.. no matter what.. Dont miss this informative well written book.

honour killings stories of men who killed,
By
This review is from: Honour Killing: Stories of Men Who Killed (Paperback)
a very sad book especially for the women on the receiving end of this very extreme culture where killing women appears to be the only intervention to solve trivial problems which in the west these problems are considered a normal part of growing up these women dont have a normal happy life they appear to be totally controlled like robots by the males in the family. when will this culture start moving with the times and what right do they have to kill the females in thier family .
