Description for The Bones of Grace
Paperback. The highly acclaimed romantic tragedy of love, migration, and the search for identity from the Granta 'Best of Young British' author Num Pages: 432 pages. BIC Classification: FA; FW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 133 x 197 x 29. Weight in Grams: 292.
Zubaida is on a journey to unearth the past. It will lead her from the corridors of Harvard to the scorching deserts of Pakistan, and the bones of an ancient whale. It will carry her back to Bangladesh, and the dark horrors of a ship-breaking yard. Here - deep inside a beached ocean liner, steeped in mystery and tragedy - lies the key to her story. And a lifeline to the man she loves, but whose heart she may never win back. Echoing with loneliness and longing, The Bones of Grace is a story of lost love and conflicted identity; of the urgent need to discover who we are, before we can truly belong anywhere and truly love anyone.

Guardian
Exquisite
Daily Telegraph
Breathtaking . . . Zubaida's journey of self-discovery [has] a real sense of scale
Sunday Herald
The Bones of Grace has at its heart not war but the shattering effects of conflicted love . . . Zubaida's choice between love and duty is reminiscent of Anna Karenina
Financial Times
A novel of heart, brain, and muscle - the competing pulls of history and love are evoked here with a rare honesty, and great skill
KAMILA SHAMSIE Restrained and powerful
Observer
Seemingly disparate stories slowly coming together one by one, until the moment a last piece clicks sweetly into place to give us the revelation of a perfect, satisfying whole
Spectator
Expansive yet intimate, weighty yet incisively funny, The Bones of Grace is a powerful examination of what it means to live in a world of collapsing boundaries and conflicting values. Few people write about identity and culture with such elegance and intelligence as Tahmima Anam
TASH AW, author of Five Star Billionaire Absolutely beautiful
GEORGE ALAGAIA Fierce and intimate, lyrical and expansive. Tahmima Anam is a mesmerizer
