New e-book: Honor, Alexander Shirvanzade

In Shamakhi in the second half of the nineteenth century, where family honor and public opinion strongly shape private life, Susan and Seyran grow up bound by a close affection formed in childhood. Their feelings come into conflict with family expectations, gossip, jealousy, and strict ideas of dignity. The story explores the tension between love and the traditional notion of honor, and the power of social judgment over personal choices and relationships.
