| As Rehana Haque awakes one March morning, she may be
forgiven for feeling happy. Today she will throw a
party for her son and daughter. In the garden of the
house she has built, her roses are blooming; her
children are almost grown up; and beyond their
doorstep, the city is buzzing with excitement after
recent elections. Change is in the air. |
| .. |
But none of the guests at Rehana's party can foresee
what will happen in the days and months that follow.
For this is East Pakistan in 1971, a country on the
brink of war. And this family's life is about to
change for ever. |
| .. |
| 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 leaders
protesters to the country's leaders, from
rickshaw-wallahs to the army's soldiers--must make
choices. And as she struggles to keep her family
safe, Rehana will find herself faced with a
heartbreaking dilemna. |
