From one of the most eminent voices of our generation, this book provides a savage indictment of religious extremism and humanity's inhumanity towards one another.
The Dattas, a Hindu family living in Bangladesh, face a harrowing reality as they navigate life in a community that is often terrorized by fundamentalist factions. Sudhamoy and Kironmoyee, along with their children, Suronjon and Maya, hold fast to their roots, unwilling to leave their homeland despite escalating threats. Their optimism and idealism are tested when a tragic event—the demolition of the Babri Masjid—catalyzes a wave of violence that threatens to upend their lives.
