Description
Set against six decades of Bangladeshi history, this sweeping novel interweaves five stories of love, loss, and survival across the Bay of Bengal, Burma, Japan, and Calcutta. As a young father faces separation from his daughter in the United States, his past leads back to a poor fishing village bracing for a catastrophic cyclone and to the lives transformed by war, Partition, migration, and political upheaval. Inspired by the 1970 Bhola cyclone, the novel explores the bonds that unite families and strangers across divisions of race, religion, and nationality. Lyrical, atmospheric, and richly imaginative, it is a powerful meditation on sacrifice, resilience, and the enduring force of human connection.
