George Alagiah speaks to author Tahmima Anam. Born in Bangladesh, and growing up in Paris, New York City and Bangkok, Anam’s first novel , A Golden Age, centred around the Bangladesh Liberation War and was inspired by her parents who were freedom fighters during the conflict. It went on to win the Best First Book award at the 2008 Commonwealth Writer’s Prize. Her sequel The Good Muslim, was nominated for the 2011 Man Asian Literary Prize. This book explores the after-effects of war and examines the conflicts within modern-day religion and family. Her latest book the Bones of Grace, is the story of searching - or love, parentage and self. (Photo: Bangladeshi author Tahmim)a Anam talks at the Liberation War Museum, Dhaka, 2007.
