Their connection is immediate and intense, despite their differences: Elijah belongs to a prototypical American family; Zubaida is the adopted daughter of a wealthy Bangladeshi family in Dhaka. When a twist of fate sends her back to her hometown, the inevitable force of society compels her to take a very different path: she marries her childhood best friend and settles into a traditional Bangladeshi life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile her family is pleased by her obedience, Zubaida seethes with discontent. Desperate to finally free herself from her familial constraints, she moves to Chittagong to work on a documentary film about the infamous beaches where ships are destroyed, and their remains salvaged by locals who depend on the goods for their survival. Among them is Anwar, a shipbreaker whose story holds a key that will unlock the mysteries of Zubaida's past--and the possibilities of a new life. As she witnesses a ship being torn down to its bones, this woman torn between the social mores of her two homes--Bangladesh and America--will be forced to strip away the vestiges of her own life . . . and make a choice from which she can never turn back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harper","offers":[{"title":"Bones of Grace | Tahmima Anam | Hardcover | 9780061478949 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788911","offer_id":67857757995160,"sku":"1788911","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81isVjpa6fL.jpg?v=1793496061","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/bones-of-grace","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
