A family’s story through Partition (1947) and the birth of Bangladesh (1971).
“We have gained our independence, but lost our country” is a twice-told tale in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh— a family forced from ancestral roots near Kolkata, rebuilding in East Bengal, and paying again when 1971 demanded sacrifice. It is also a tale of young love and mature love: one cut short, one sustaining.
A coming-of-age portrait of Bangladesh—before and after 1971.
After 1971, the world often called Bangladesh a “basket case.” Having lived those years, the author understood the label— but also knew another Bangladesh: rice fields and flowers and fruits, family always close, and the joy of community. This is the story of a girl growing up where, against all odds, a community made itself a nation.
Stories from Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, and the U.S.—where folklore meets hard truth.
A collection drawn from the author’s life as the wife of an American diplomat. Some stories are true; others are “more than true,” where lived experience blends with South Asian fable and tradition. Ghosts appear—but so do hunger, neglect, disease, and superstition: a sacred cow violated by accident in Nepal, a nightly wandering ghost in Burma, and a bride left to die alone after cholera.
