Description
A poignant and powerful story from one of Bangladesh's most renowned writers. In 1971, as war rages through the country, a young girl holds on to memories of her father, an esteemed professor and community leader who finds himself at the forefront of the struggle for independence. As she reminisces about her abbu, she is moved by his quiet determination to preserve Bengali language and culture in the face of adversity. His diaries reveal the painful decisions he must make, from embracing the brutality of war to struggling to keep his family safe amidst the chaos of Dhaka. Amidst the tragedy, a powerful bond between father and daughter shines through. This moving portrait of a family's survival during one of Bangladesh's most tumultuous periods is both historically faithful and deeply stirring.
