A Golden Age
by Anam, Tahmima
A Golden Age is a quiet but moving novel set in East Pakistan in 1971 during the Bangladesh War of Independence. An innocent young widow tries to protect her two older teenage children from the approaching chaos. Yet in her quiet way Rehana gets caught up in the war, as do her children, and she finds herself becoming more involved. I loved the setting and the well-fleshed-out characters!--Akankha Perkins, The Sun Of The Heart Bookstore (Bridgewater, VT)



Quote of the Day

"Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi."

- Oprah Winfrey

From The Quotable Book Lover (Lyons Press)
