Tahmima Anam, A Golden Age
In this episode, Cathi talks to Tahmima Anam about her first novel, A Golden
Age. The story takes place during the turbulent backdrop of the creation of Bangladesh during the 1970s. It follows the fate of Rehana, a young widow with two small children, who has to create a new life for herself amidst the horrors of war. It’s a great read, and a sweeping look at change in a part of the world that few westerners truly know.
