Naz Shah in conversation at Waterstones Piccadilly

We’re delighted to welcome Naz Shah to Piccadilly as she discusses her biography Honoured in which Naz reveals how growing up against almost impossible odds lit the fire that still drives her today. An inspiring story of survival, faith and political awakening, it charts the making of an activist determined to speak out, stand up and claim space in a world that rarely offers it.

Naz Shah has been the Labour MP for Bradford West since her election in 2015 in a bruising battle with George Galloway’s Respect Party. She was born in Bradford but sent to Pakistan by her mother at the age of twelve to escape the attentions of her mother’s abusive partner. There, she was forced into a marriage at the age of fifteen. When she was twenty, her mother was convicted of the murder of her partner. Naz was instrumental in campaigning for and securing her mother’s release from prison. Honoured is her first book.

Please note: Book and ticket option includes a copy of Honoured (RRP £22) available for collection on the night.
