Produktinformationen zu „The Good Muslim “
One hot afternoon in a remote Bangladeshi village, a telegram arrives for Maya Haque ... Eight years before, a devastating war tore Maya's country - and her family - apart. Now Maya realises it is time to return home at last. She arrives to find that everything has changed. Her old friends have been seduced by the lure of new money, her city streets have been renamed and the freedom she had once yearned for is a long forgotten dream. Worst of all, her beloved brother Sohail has become a stranger to her, abandoning his liberal beliefs to become a strict religious leader. As she attempts to get to grips with her brother's radicalism, Maya will be forced to rethink what it means to be a good daughter, sister, friend and citizen - and a good Muslim. She must decide where her loyalties ultimately lie. Set in the dusty streets of Dhaka and the villages and river-islands of rural Bangladesh, at a time when the rise of religious fundamentalism was a whisper in the wind, "The Good Muslim" is an epic, unforgettable story of the challenges of peace in the long shadow of war. It is a novel that cleaves to the simple truths that shape all of our lives: that the bonds of family and love often strain to bear the weight of history.

Rezension zu „The Good Muslim “
* A major new talent Observer * Tahmima Anam's startlingly accomplished and gripping novel describes not only the tumult of a great historical event... but also the small but heroic struggles of individuals living in the shadow of revolution and war. -- Pankaj Mishra On A Golden Age * Anam has done a service to her country ... No other writer has treated the subject with such clarity before, in English. Times Literary Supplement on A Golden Age * In this striking debut novel ... Anam deftly weaves the personal and the political, giving the terrors of war spare, powerful treatment. The New Yorker on A Golden Age * An assured, moving read The Times on A Golden Age * Beautifully told, intimate and touching; Anam has a knack for making you care so desperately for her characters that you admire their failings as much as their strengths. Daily Mail on A Golden Age * Anam's prose is glowing and graceful throughout; whether detailing the degradations of a refugee camp, the tenderness of an unexpected love affair, or the exhilarated dread of a nation in cataclysm. Guardian on A Golden Age * This is storytelling at its best ... A beautiful story of hope, heroism and human survival amid cruelty. Everyone should read this and learn. Daily Express on A Golden Age * The authenticity shines through Anam's beautiful, simple prose. Harper's Bazaar * My reader adored this and was happy to compare it with The God of Small Things and Brick Lane. Bookseller on A Golden Age
