A phenomenal book from Anam who poetically tells the story of war during the establishment of Bangladesh in a way that is emotive yet feels real. A must read not only to understand the country's history, but also the stuggles both big and small involved during conflict. A true masterpiece.

Minor: Genocide, Rape, and Torture
