Publisher's Synopsis
War doesn't end when the guns fall silent; its pain stays, shaping lives across generations.
In this memoir, Shahzana Z. Ghani shares the raw struggles of her family, forever changed by conflict. Through her grandmother Parveen's story, Shahzana reveals a legacy of deep wounds, where troubled parenting and neglect left lasting marks on her mother, Noushaba and even impacted Shahzana and her siblings in some way. Growing up many years after the fall of Dhaka, Shahzana saw her mother wrestle with a lifetime of hardship, tied not only to a city's collapse but to the breaking of family bonds and the loss of love. This is a story of fractured lands and broken hearts, reaching for healing through time.
