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

A novel of heart, brain, and muscle - the competing pulls of
history and love are evoked here with a rare honesty, and great
skill

Restrained and powerful

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
