Description : “Spellbinding . . . . Anam has written a story about powerful events. But it is her descriptions of the small, unheralded moments . . . that truly touch the heart.” —San Francisco Chronicle Tahmima Anam’s deeply moving debut novel about a mother’s all-consuming love for her two children, set against the backdrop of war and terror, has led critics to comparisons with The English Patient and A Thousand Splendid Suns. Rehana Haque, a young widow transplanted to the city of Dhaka in East Pakistan, is fiercely devoted to her adolescent children, Maya and Sohail. Both become fervent nationalists in the violent political turmoil which, in 1971, transforms a brutal Pakistani civil war into a fight to the death for Bangladeshi independence. Fair-minded and intensely protective of her family, but not at all political, Rehana is sucked into the conflict in spite of herself. A story of passion and revolution, of family, friendship and unexpected heroism, A Golden Age depicts the chaos of an era and the choices everyone—from student protesters to the country’s leaders, and rickshaw wallahs to the army’s soldiers—must make. Rehana herself will face a cruel dilemma; the choice she makes is at once heartbreaking and true to the character we have come to love and respect.

A story of love between a mother and her two children set against the backdrop of war and terror. Very well written, but not enough to describe the pains of refugees. Based on Pakistan and Bangla Desh war. A magnificent book. Certainly recommended.
| rakesh_*******@yahoo.com |
A debut novel from a Bangladeshi writer. Set against the 1971 Bangladesh War, it is tale of a mother and her children laced with patriotism. Gives the glimpses of condition prevailing then in Bangladesh. One of the wonderful book in context of Bangladesh war
