Honour | We Love This Book
The Women's Fiction Prize long-listed Honour by Elif Shafak presents a narrative trail winding through London and Turkey. Set mainly in the 1970s, Shafak’s tale explores the changing worlds of three generations of the Toprak family in an attempt to explain, though never excuse, the cultural assumptions that lead to the tragic epicentre of the novel - the honour killing of a mother by her son.

I am a student at Cardiff University, studying for a Masters in Magazine Journalism.

This is balanced with freelance work. I have written for The Telegraph, Times Educational Supplement, South Wales Echo, We Love This Book, Delayed Gratification, and Lost in London.

I am interested in culture, nature, and environmental and social issues. I especially like poetry, and I especially especially like Keats. I like writing features and interviewing people.

I graduated from Oxford in 2011 with a degree in English Literature. I speak passable French. I can write shorthand at the whirlwind speed of 100wpm.
