Description
Red on Green by Steve Ellis is set against the turbulent backdrop of Bangladesh in 1972. A year after the nine-month civil war, the country struggles with poverty, disease, and corruption. Against this complex landscape, a story of love and danger unfolds. A British aid worker, Ben Altringham, finds himself drawn to a medical student, Ayesha, whose father is a kind and highly skilled doctor volunteering to help those in desperate need. As their relationship deepens, they become embroiled in a perilous plot to rescue Ayesha's friend from the clutches of a government minister's son. The novel explores themes of cultural barriers, corruption, and abuse of humanitarian aid, all set against the lush but troubled landscape of Bangladesh.
