For me two of the best books I have read are;

The good women of China by Xinran - a powerful and moving account of the experienced of women living in China

Shame by Jasvinder Sanghera - shocking account of a young Seikh girl running away to escape a proposed forced marriage and then setting up a helpline for other potential victims

[Nepotism]

A Life in Secrets by Sarah Helm. It's about Vera Atkins and her search for missing SOE agents after the war. Humbling and absorbing.

Yes to Escape by Carolyn Jessop and about the same cult
Shattered Dreams by Irene spencer
Both amazing
