This novel deals with a Kurdish family who emigrates to London and their challenges to integrate into a brand new culture. Though Iskender grows up in the English culture and becomes a young, handsome man who loves listening to the Bee Gees with his English girlfriend, he will not be able to escape the deeply rooted family traditions and obligations as a man to ‘save the honor’. And dear me (!) have I been shocked by this guy´s actions for the sake of "saving the honor"! You broke my heart, Iskender!!
