About A Golden Age by Tahmima Anam
In March 1971, Rehana Haque prepares a party for her nearly grown children as East Pakistan buzzes with excitement after recent elections. The celebrations take place against a gathering crisis: the country is on the brink of war, and the months ahead will transform Rehana’s family life.
Set against the Bangladesh War of Independence, A Golden Age follows Rehana as she struggles to keep her family safe and faces a painful dilemma. The story places personal choices alongside the upheaval of the period, with people ranging from student protesters and political leaders to rickshaw-wallahs and soldiers caught up in events.
Readers interested in Bangladesh’s history, family stories shaped by conflict, and the human choices made during political upheaval may find this novel especially compelling.
