A review by mlglenn
A Golden Age by Tahmima Anam

2.5

Learned about the war for Bangladesh’s independence and would be interested in reading a nonfiction account, but felt like the writing style was stilted - a lot of “she closed the door. She entered the kitchen”, etc. and minute details about cooking that weren’t relevant - and that took me out of the story. 

POV: single third person omniscient
