Media Reviews
'Gripping, and anger-fuelling ... this is an important book, written with calm, steady intelligence' -- India Knight Sunday Times 'In her simple, straightforward prose, Sanghera tells one heartbreaking story after another ... DAUGHTERS OF SHAME is as gripping and moving as any work of fiction, yet surprisingly uplifting. A must read.' -- She Acclaim for SHAME: 'She tells her story with the pace and vivid turn of phrase of a true writer ... SHAME is an inspiring book, not least because of its honesty.' -- Sunday Times 'A vivid, honest and deeply moving narrative of despair, courage and hope.' -- Lord Lester speaking in Parliamentary debate 'Unbeaten and eloquent' -- Evening Standard 'Heart-wrenching' -- Daily Mail 'It will open your eyes to the horrors that are real for some women' -- Sydney Daily Telegraph 'Genuinely moving and uplifting.' -- Lorraine Kelly, Sun 'One of the most powerful things I have read.' -- David Cameron 'The glossy cover doesn't prepare you for the impact this book has on its reader ... It gives me hope that there are people like the author of this book who are willing to write their experiences with such passion and clarity. A must-read.' -- Asians in Media 'A success story to inspire anyone ... recounted deftly and without apology.' -- Time Magazine
