Shame
ISBN: 9781844563401
Category: Bios, Memoirs
Keywords: arranged marriage, runaway, code of honour, Shame
Author: Jasvinder Sanghera
Publisher: Hodder Headline Limited
Length: 2 hours and 19 min.

Description
When she was 14, Jasvinder Sanghera was shown a photo of the man chosen to be her husband. She was terrified. She'd witnessed the torment her sisters endured in their arranged marriages, so she ran away from home and was grief-stricken when her parents disowned her. 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.

King Alfred of England is trying to keep the peace between Vikings and Saxons, and the best way seems to be through a series of arranged marriages.

The two fall in love, only to discover that each is the other's intended. Rycca has a strong anti-Viking bias, which is only overcome by her mystical ability to see when people are telling the truth. Dragon is a true gentleman, big, strong, and sensitive, and succeeds in winning Rycca over. But there are parties interested in stopping the marriage before it has a chance to happen.
