Synopsis
One of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists. In the dying days of a brutal civil war, Sohail Haque stumbles upon an abandoned building. Inside, he finds a young woman whose story will haunt him for a lifetime to come . . . Almost a decade later, Sohail's sister Maya returns home after a long absence to find her beloved brother transformed. While Maya has stuck to her revolutionary ideals, Sohail has shunned his old life to become a charismatic religious leader. And when Sohail decides to send his son to madrasa, the conflict between them comes to a devastating climax. Set in Bangladesh at a time when religious fundamentalism is on the rise, The Good Muslim is an epic story about faith, family and the long shadow of war.

Review
A major new talent * * Observer * * Tahmima Anam's startlingly accomplished and gripping novel describes not only the tumult of a great historical event... but also the small but heroic struggles of individuals living in the shadow of revolution and war. -- Pankaj Mishra on A Golden Age Anam has done a service to her country ... No other writer has treated the subject with such clarity before, in English. * * Times Literary Supplement on A Golden Age * * In this striking debut novel ... Anam deftly weaves the personal and the political, giving the terrors of war spare, powerful treatment. * * The New Yorker on A Golden Age * * An assured, moving read * * The Times on A Golden Age * * Beautifully told, intimate and touching; Anam has a knack for making you care so desperately for her characters that you admire their failings as much as their strengths. * * Daily Mail on A Golden Age * * Anam's prose is glowing and graceful throughout; whether detailing the degradations of a refugee camp, the tenderness of an unexpected love affair, or the exhilarated dread of a nation in cataclysm. * * Guardian on A Golden Age * * This is storytelling at its best ... A beautiful story of hope, heroism and human survival amid cruelty. Everyone should read this and learn. * * Daily Express on A Golden Age * * The authenticity shines through Anam's beautiful, simple prose. * * Harper's Bazaar * * My reader adored this and was happy to compare it with The God of Small Things and Brick Lane. * * Bookseller on A Golden Age * *
