In the chaos of this era, everyone must make choices. And as she struggles to keep her family safe, Rehana will be forced to face a heartbreaking dilemma.

Page-turnerThrillingInspiringFantastic book, a must read. Animated reading by Madam Jaffrey, only a bit more familiarity with Bengali names, places and quotations could have made this a perfect read. A native Bengali speaker would have helped perhaps.
