A Golden Age

The way the characters' lives intersect with Bangladesh's history felt very authentic. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice to highlight individual stories amid national upheaval.

The detailed descriptions brought their cultural practices to life, making me wonder how much research went into depicting Bangladeshi life during that era.

The backdrop adds so much depth to the characters' journeys. I wonder if personal experiences or historical events influenced the author's choice of this particular time period.
