Thanks to a review by @Bookworm54 I‘m reading this book for my next audiobook. #Bangladesh #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
Another heartbreaking yet beautifully written Bangladesh story OR legendary heroic fun? I think I need something lighter before rereading A Golden Age. The photograph doesn't do it justice. The gold leaves are metallic. A gorgeous cover.
My May TBR is aggressive & already in progress. Lots of readalongs & challenges including:

pickThis was a short novel for #FoodAndLit #Bangladesh
Somlata marries into a family of old wealth (that are going broke). After her elderly aunt-in-law dies, she haunts Somlata, forcing her to hide her jewellery from the family. It also follows Boshon, a teen who doesn‘t believe she needs a man to enjoy life.
This had an abrupt ending, but I did enjoy it!
pickEvocative writing. Equal to The Kite Runner. The effects of war on different groups of people are exposed. Rape as a weapon. WOMEN CHOSE TO MARRY and leave with THE ENEMY BECAUSE THEIR FAMILIES DISOWNED THEM. A brother turned into an extremist because of guilt. His sister remained a rebel to the new government because of guilt. They both neglected their loved ones while on crusades. Trigger warnings #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks
Who‘s excited for our #foodandlit country #Bangladesh for May? I‘ve got so many books to read for it! And don‘t you just love this artwork by @Catsandbooks ? Here‘s to another great reading Month!!
so-soThis book is about an American scientist who makes her way to Bangladesh‘s tide country to observe river dolphins. Throughout her trip, she observes the fauna, builds relationships with the locals, connects with religion and finally decides to stay. A nice story that, for my taste however, is a bit too slow to pick up and might have been told too often.
