Honor

The novel "Sharaf" by Saneh El Ibrahim is one of the boldest works written. The novel tells the story of Ashraf Abdel Aziz Suleiman, or "Sharaf," as his mother affectionately calls her beloved. Sharaf is a young man in his early twenties whose bad luck leads him to prison because he killed "John," a British foreign tourist, in self-defense from his assault on Sharaf. Most of the events of the novel take place in prison.
