***************************************************************
ON THE EVE OF WAR, WILL THE FAMILY PULL THROUGH?
As the war breaks out, the Rising family - on the surface so united, so serene - tries to hold down the secrets of the past.
March, the eldest, is separated from her son.
Albert has run from all of them on discovering the truth about his birth and now he tries to drown his bitterness and anger in fighting the Luftwaffe in the skies over Britain.
April's shy and gentle daughter, Davina, can never understand why Albert has left her without explanation, without saying goodbye.
And Victor, the talented, ebullient soldier son of May, watches the two cousins - knowing their secret, loving them both, trusting that the strength of the family will pull them through.
IT'S A BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL ON BOTH FRONTS.
A more ambitious novel than Captain Corelli, and a better one
—— Financial TimesA mesmerising patchwork of horror, humour and humanity
—— IndependentA magnificent, poetic, colossal novel... Superbly written... It is, in every sense, a sublime book
—— Irish TimesHis most serious and ambitious achievement to date
—— Times Literary SupplementPleasurable... Like Steinbeck, de Bernières deserves praise for his imaginative sympathy
—— Independent on SundayShafak will challenge Paulo Coelho's dominance
—— The IndependentAn honour killing is at the centre of this stunning novel... Exotic, evocative and utterly gripping
—— The TimesLushly and memorably magic-realist... This is an extraordinarily skilfully crafted and ambitious narrative
—— The IndependentThe book calls to mind The Color Purple in the 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 globalising, is as hopeful as it is politically sophisticated. This alone should gain her the world audience she has long deserved
—— The GuardianIn Honour, Shafak treats an important, absorbing subject in a fast-paced, internationally familiar style that will make it accessible to a wide readership
—— Sunday TimesFascinating and gripping - a wonderful novel
—— Rosamund Lupton, author of SisterVivid storytelling... that explores the darkest aspects of faith and love
—— Sunday TelegraphMoving, subtle and ultimately hopeful, Honour is further proof that Shafak is the most exciting Turkish novelist to reach western readers in years
—— Irish Times
