The Good Muslim - Hardcover

"Exquisite . . . this work confirms Anam as one of our most important novelists" (Sunday Telegraph)

"The narrative shimmers with poetry. Anam seems to be a novelist not so much luxuriating in the act of writing as in total control of it, using just the right words to create her stunning story" (Independent)

"A lyrical, thought-provoking, powerful meditation on belief, love and loyalty" (Easy Living)

"An exceptional and searching look at the horrors of war" (Metro)

"Powerful and ambitious, The Good Muslim more than fulfils the promises of Tahmima Anam's celebrated debut, A Golden Age" (Guardian)

"A fascinating, intense and complex book" (The Lady)

"Provides some penetrating meditations on faith, war, linguistic and class hegemony, parenthood, sibling rivalry and love. One looks forward to the third volume of the trilogy." (Claire Chambers Times Literary Supplement)

"A major new talent" (Observer)

"Impressive . . . Anam subtly handles the clash of opposing values to produce a powerful exploration of what it means to be radicalised as well as a moving depiction of the legacy of war. The Good Muslim more than confirms the promise apparent in her Commonwealth Writers' Prize-winning debut" (Financial Times)

"In this book of searing beauty, Tahmima Anam shows us a family searching for ways to navigate through the aftermath of war; in the process she takes us on an unforgettable journey through a young nation trying to define itself" (Kamila Shamsie, author of BURNT SHADOWS)
