  The Good Muslim by Tahmima Anam

  Price: £8.99    Add to Basket

  The long shadow of war looms over this powerful novel, set in Bangladesh at a time when religious fundamentalism is on the rise. After months of fighting in the civil war of 1971, Sohail returns home to find himself alienated from the frivolity of bland suburban parties. A decade later, his sister gives up work as a crusading doctor and finds her brother much changed: once a revolutionary idealist, Sohail has morphed into a charismatic, and dangerous, religious leader. Thrilling, devastating and very pertinent.
