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:

This 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!

Evocative 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
