![]() Rehana Haque is an East Pakistani stuck on the other side of India in the wake of Mujib-ur-Rahman’s declaration of Bangladeshi independence from West Pakistan. Anam’s prose reads almost like poetry, melding together one of the most excruciating times in South-East Asian history and a mother’s blind love for her children. Readers don’t have to be even slightly inclined towards politics or history to get through this one. With its striking, bleeding characters and an increasingly engaging plot A Golden Age blends fact and fiction to a point of utter perfection. Tahmima Anam’s debut novel is a stunning start to t he trilogy set against the backdrop of the Bangladesh Liberation War and its aftermath which takes you on a harrowing yet breathtaking journey of a family torn apart by the hunger of war. ![]()
