About this listen
Shame is the heart-rending true story of a young girl's attempt to escape from a cruel, claustrophobic world where family honour mattered more than anything, sometimes more than life itself. Jasvinder's story is one of terrible oppression, a harrowing struggle against a punitive code of honour and, finally, triumph over adversity.

brutal
I know that this kind of thing happened but hearing from Jasvinder on the radio made me want to listen to her book and get more of her story. I also had a friend this happened to just not on the same level it was more an arranged marriage rather than a forced marriage and my friend fortunately left him after a few months. What made this even worse was I know the area I lived around that area, I drive near there most days. That made it a lot more personal. I am so happy that Jasvinder got away and made something positive of her life. I even recommended her charity to a friend before I even knew about her story.

A HORRIBLE STORY ABOUT FORCED MARRIAGE
I have read this as a book to since I have it in my bookshelf. But to listen to Jasvinder Sanghera reading her own book makes it more real. For us who are not involved in forced marriage can find it difficult to comprehend that this problem exist since it has never been in our traditions. But we have to be aware about this and help those girls and boys who are afflicted. A very good story which happens many, many girls and boys with another culture

Eye opening!
I have been aware of Jasvinder’s work for a good few years. I am in awe of what amazing things she has done against such adversity.
What a strong and inspiring woman!
It’s been an honour for you to share your experiences

An amazing girl!
A girl who had so little support achieved such success and continues to work for other girls who experience the same problems

couldn't listen to it
I really wanted to be gripped by this book as I had seen the author speak on TV and it seemed really interesting, however the narration is poor and I couldn't listen to it, I think I will buy the book instead.

Poor
Great insight into the abuse faced by Asian women.
Although this was written autobiographically, I believe the narration/audible was dreadful and detracted greatly of the book.
