Tahmima Anam with A Golden Age

Tahmima Anam, daughter of Daily Star editor Mahfuz Anam is introducing her literary debut - “A Golden Age”, which is coming out in March. Although some are referring her as the next Monica Ali, but this is not a story of life as an immigrant, but rather about our war of independence. I'm also hoping she'll deliver better because of her writing background and growing up around renowned journalists and politicians. Already many critics, who had a preview of the book have good things to say about her. Few snapshots about her work are as below...

"Great writing may be in the blood, but having a window seat on remarkable historical events can help to shape an author. A major new talent, Tahmima Anam, has the advantage of coming from a line of gifted Bangladeshi writers and thinkers, yet it is the damaging experience her family shared with thousands of others living around them that is to see her launched in Britain." -- The Observer

"Set against the backdrop of the Bangladesh War of Independence, A Golden Age is a story of passion and revolution, of hope, faith and unexpected heroism. In the chaos of this era, everyone – from student protesters to the country`s leaders, from rickshaw-wallahs to the army`s soldiers – must make choices." -- HooderHeadline
