A hauntingly beautiful historical saga set in Bangladesh and the US, this novel is well-written with multiple POVs to gracefully intertwine the various cultures and events. It's bittersweet, but with an overall positivity that truly enthralled this reader. A solid story. I look forward to more works by this author.

Based on a real-life 1970 cyclone that hit the Indian subcontinent that year, this novel in sections spanning 1942 to 2004 tells of the partition of India to the existence of Bangladesh through the intertwined stories of several characters from a Japanese fighter pilot, a fisherman and his wife, a Muslim gentry couple, an English female doctor, to a young Bangladeshi in America trying to get his green card and his half-American daughter. Characters are very realistic and I did learn something of the history of that time.

A surprisingly absorbing read and very highly recommended.
