In 1972 the Rehman family are ecstatic to welcome a male heir, Abdel, to join their five daughters. However, the happiness of the family is short-lived after tragedy strikes, hitting the family hard.

The five Rehman daughters have to grow up fast, looking after their newly born baby brother while at the same time adhering to their father's strict rules. This is not easy as they grow up in the UK, within a culture very different from that of their Pakistan-born father, who insists on upholding his traditional cultural values at the expense of his family.

The arrival of a pretentious stepmother changes their world in a heartbeat.

While one daughter, Saleena, discovers that the marriage her father arranged for her is loveless and abusive, her brother Abdel dabbles in western habits and needs to keep his private life secret.

This tense, compelling story about the effects of honour killing on a family takes the reader through twists and turns as the years go by.

Nash Ramji was born in Soroti, Uganda. He arrived in the UK as a refugee at the age of twelve and settled with his parents in Birmingham in the early 1970s. His secondary education was at a comprehensive school there. Following obtaining a law degree from Wolverhampton Polytechnic in the 1980s, he attended The University of Law in Chester. In 1991, he was admitted on the roll of solicitors and has since worked in the legal profession as a solicitor. He settled in Loughborough in 1995. Currently he is a director in a law firm in Leicester.


During his long career, one of his proudest moments, apart from the birth of his two children, was that he served the community as a JP. Being appointed and to serve as a magistrate in 2005 was an absolute honour for him. He sat on many cases in the magistrate’s court, dealing with adult criminal cases. One particular case concerned honour killing. This is where the idea about writing this book came from.


He has two children, Ali and Mariam.

    What a superb piece of work. It’s absolutely gripping and nail biting. Authors flawless writing has done a brilliant job of painting the scene as you read along. Can’t wait for the sequel.

    Fantastic reading so excited for the next book

  • Rosa Viera

    I really really enjoyed this book. I was quite a sad book, I felt for Abdel and especially Reezia. I understood about having had a step mum myself what's it's like to be not liked or loved. What a shame that Abdel never got to speak to his father again.

  • L. Mason

  • Kindle Customer

    Very good plot, awful amount of missing words though that spoilt it a bit. Would have liked to have the brother disclose to his sisters and seen the fallout from that. Overall very good.
