The sequel to A Golden Age, set in Bangladesh in the 1980s — the aftermath of the liberation war, the Islamization of a country that fought for a secular Bengali identity, a brother and sister on opposite sides of what Bangladesh should become. Sohail survived the war and found God; Maya survived the war and found medicine. Their argument is Bangladesh's argument: what was the liberation for, and what does it mean that the country that won secular independence is now governed by military Islam? The most politically specific Bangladesh novel on this shelf.
