I had to look up quite a few unfamiliar word, but it was well worth the effort. ( ) The second in the trilogy, this novel takes up a decade after The Golden Age - Soheil has become ultra-religious and Maya has become a doctor. Both are dealing with the aftermath of the war and the loss - in part - of their ideals. The Good Muslim doesn't have the structural elegance of The Golden Age but it's a wonderful continuation of the story and characters who I'd grown to care about very much. (8.5) This book continues the story of Rehana and her children Sohail and Maya, now adults who fought as freedom fighters in the nine month war. The book looks at the impact the war had on these individuals and their country. A heartfelt story as they come to terms with the changes wrought in their lives and relationships. The Good Muslim, by Tahmima Anam. GLOBAL WOMEN OF COLOR A moving novel by a woman from Bangladesh exploring how people coped after their war for independence is won. In her first fine novel, A Golden Age, Tahmima Anam told the story of a mother and her two college-age children during the war for independence in Bangladesh. In this novel Anam follows the same family after the war has ended but its scars remain. The book moves back and forth through time, recounting what happened when the war ended and the problems that still festered a decade later when the mother’s illness and the problems of Sohail’s son force a new resolution. Although a sequel, The Good Muslim stands alone and does not require readers to have read the first novel. As in her first novel, Anam writes with great power, bringing readers to feel what her characters are experiencing. Read more on my blog, Me, you and books:http://wp.me/p24OK2-SA
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Na de zeer gewelddadige onafhankelijkheidsoorlog in Bangladesh in 1971 proberen een weduwe en haar kinderen Maya en Sohail het gewone leven in Dhaka weer op te pakken. Terwijl Maya, die arts is geworden, vasthoudt aan haar revolutionaire ideeën, heeft Sohail zijn oude leven achter zich gelaten om religieus leider te worden. Maya kan haar broers keuze moeilijk accepteren en ze verlaat het ouderlijk huis om pas jaren later weer terug te keren. Ze hoopt ondanks alles op een verzoening, maar als Sohail besluit om zijn zoon naar een Koranschool te sturen, leidt dat tot een dramatische confrontatie tussen broer en zus.
