Shahryar, a recent PhD graduate and father of nine-year-old Anna, must leave the US when his visa expires. In their last remaining weeks together, we learn Shahryar's history, in a village on the Bay of Bengal, where a poor fisherman and his wife are preparing to face a storm of historic proportions. That story intersects with those of a Japanese pilot, a British doctor stationed in Burma during World War II, and a privileged couple in Calcutta who leaves everything behind to move to East Pakistan following the Partition of India. Inspired by the 1970 Bhola cyclone, in which half a million-people perished overnight, the structure of this riveting novel mimics the storm itself. Building to a series of revelatory and moving climaxes, it shows the many ways in which families love, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another. At once grounded in history and fantastically imaginative, The Storm explores the humanity that connects us beyond the surface differences of race, religion, and nationality. It is an epic novel in the tradition of Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner and Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance, by a singularly gifted and perceptive new writer.--  aENH  aSome text in Chinese. 0aFamilieszBangladeshvFiction.929310 0aImmigrantszUnited StatesvFiction.929311 7aFICTION / Literary.2bisacsh929312 7aFICTION / Family Life.2bisacsh929313 7aFICTION / Cultural Heritage.2bisacsh929314 7aEnglish literature943048 0aBangladeshxSocial conditionsvFiction.929315 0aDomestic fiction.943049 7aHistorical fiction2gsafd943050  aAyesha Abed LibrarycGeneral Stacks  2ddccBK  00102ddc4070aBRACULbBRACULcGENd2018-12-09eTrim Educationg3345.00l6m37o813.6 ANWp3010034108r2025-05-27s2025-05-05t2v3345.00w2018-12-09yBK  00102ddc4070aBRACULbBRACULcGENd2018-12-09eTrim Educationg3345.00l6m58o813.6 ANWp3010034107r2024-09-30s2024-09-04t1v3345.00w2018-12-09yBK
