The Good Muslim

* A major new talent Observer * Anam has done a service to her country ... No other writer has treated the subject with such clarity before, in English. Times Literary Supplement on A Golden Age * In this striking debut novel ... Anam deftly weaves the personal and the political, giving the terrors of war spare, powerful treatment. The New Yorker on A Golden Age * An assured, moving read The Times on A Golden Age * Beautifully told, intimate and touching; Anam has a knack for making you care so desperately for her characters that you admire their failings as much as their strengths. Daily Mail on A Golden Age * Anam's prose is glowing and graceful throughout; whether detailing the degradations of a refugee camp, the tenderness of an unexpected love affair, or the exhilarated dread of a nation in cataclysm. Guardian on A Golden Age * This is storytelling at its best ... A beautiful story of hope, heroism and human survival amid cruelty. Everyone should read this and learn. Daily Express on A Golden Age * Tahmima Anam's startlingly accomplished and gripping novel describes not only the tumult of a great historical event... but also the small but heroic struggles of individuals living in the shadow of revolution and war. -- Pankaj Mishra On A Golden Age * The authenticity shines through Anam's beautiful, simple prose. Harper's Bazaar * My reader adored this and was happy to compare it with The God of Small Things and Brick Lane. Bookseller on A Golden Age
