The Bones of Grace (Paperback)

The final sweeping part of the award-winning Bengal trilogy
On the eve of her departure to discover evidence of the walking whale, Ambulocetus natans, Zubaida Haque falls in love with a stranger she meets at a piano concert. When a twist of fate sends her back to Dhaka, the inevitable force of society compels her to take a very different path: she marries her childhood best friend and settles into a traditional Bangladeshi life. In a bid to escape familial constraints, she moves to a southern port city. Here she encounters Anwar, a shipbreaker whose story holds the key that unlocks for Zubaida not only the mysteries of her past but the possibilities of a new life. The Bones of Grace brings the arc of Bangladesh's tumultuous recent history full circle in an epic of loss and love.
