I enjoyed this book. It was a story about a grieving widow and how she deals with the loss and threats to her children. I knew very little about the history of Bangladesh and it's quest for independence and found this book to be very interesting and informative.

i think this maybe suffers from a layer or 2 too many, but the few times this story narrows its focus, it's briefly transcendent

That was a compelling story of the length a mother will go to save her child.
