Items related to The Bones of Grace
Zubaida is on a journey to unearth the past. It will lead her from the corridors of Harvard to the scorching deserts of Pakistan, and the bones of an ancient whale. It will carry her back to Bangladesh, and the dark horrors of a ship-breaking yard. Here - deep inside a beached ocean liner, steeped in mystery and tragedy - lies the key to her story. And a lifeline to the man she loves, but whose heart she may never win back.
Echoing with loneliness and longing, The Bones of Grace is a story of lost love and conflicted identity; of the urgent need to discover who we are, before we can truly belong anywhere and truly love anyone.

Review:
"One of the most impressive novelists of her generation" (The Times 2016-05-29)
"Anam's prose is glowing and graceful" (Guardian)
"The Bones of Grace has at its heart not war but the shattering effects of conflicted love. . . Zubaida's choice between love and duty is reminiscent of Anna Karenina" (Financial Times)
"A novel of heart, brain, and muscle - the competing pulls of history and love are evoked here with a rare honesty, and great skill" (KAMILA SHAMSIE)
"Restrained and powerful" (Observer)
"Seemingly disparate stories slowly coming together one by one, until the moment a last piece clicks sweetly into place to give us the revelation of a perfect, satisfying whole" (Spectator)
"Expansive yet intimate, weighty yet incisively funny, The Bones of Grace is a powerful examination of what it means to live in a world of collapsing boundaries and conflicting values. Few people write about identity and culture with such elegance and intelligence as Tahmima Anam" (TASH AW, author of Five Star Billionaire) --Tash AW, Author of Five Star Billionaire
"Absolutely beautiful" (GEORGE ALAGAIA) --George Alagaia
"Fierce and intimate, lyrical and expansive. Tahmima Anam is a mesmerizer" (YIYUN LI) --Yiyun Li
