The Bones of Grace Author: Tahmima Anam

ISBN: 9781925355017 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 432 Published: 30 May 2016 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 23.3 x 15.4 x 3.2 Description: On the eve of her departure from Boston to find the bones of the walking whale-the fossil that provides a missing link in our evolution-Zubaida Haque falls in love with Elijah Strong, a man she meets in a darkened concert hall.

The two immediately connect despite their differences: Elijah belongs to a prototypical American family, whereas Zubaida is the adopted daughter of a wealthy family in Dhaka. But when a twist of fate sends her back to her hometown, the inevitable force of society compels her to take a very different path, and before she knows it she's married to her childhood best friend and discontentedly settled into a traditional Bangladeshi life.

In a final bid to escape familial constraints, she moves to Chittagong to help make a documentary film about the infamous shipbreaking beaches, where ships are destroyed and their various parts put up for sale.

Here she meets Anwar, a shipbreaker whose story holds a key that unlocks for Zubaida not only the mysteries of her past but the possibilities of a new life-and she will make a choice from which she can never turn back.
