It is the third novel and final part of her Bengal trilogy, following A Golden Age and The Good Muslim. SynopsisThe story revolve around Zubaida Haque, an adopted daughter of a native Bengali family who finds herself lost between two worlds. She feels torn by everything which she have to choose. She felt different kind of loylity toward her motherland Bangladesh and America, from where she completed her study. ReceptionThe book got generally positive review from critics. The Guardian published a review by Anthony Cummins who noted "While the characters need no convincing of their feelings for each other, we do, and the book’s structure makes this tricky: Zubaida has to write for us as well as for Elijah. Their coded correspondence once she returns to Bangladesh, in text messages consisting only of song titles – off-the-peg emotion – feels like Anam’s workaround as much as theirs".[1]Financial Times published a review by Arifa Akbar, who noted, "This third novel does not revisit the 1970s but plays with a polyphony of pasts, from prehistoric to the present. The parents’ story of war and liberation is there, but as a back-note. The foreground is now contemporary, the generation Anam’s own, and The Bones of Grace has at its heart not war but the shattering effects of conflicted love".[2]Kirkus Reviews said, "Taken alone, the narrator's self-absorption would be grating, but her story resonates powerfully within the saga of three generations of women personifying Bangladesh’s evolution from the clarity of revolution to the confusions of assimilation with the larger world".[3]Book Review published a review which wrote, "Anam writes an engaging, thought provoking story that portrays a contemporary family experience in Bangladesh; one that examines the issue of identity and living between east and western cultures. "[4]The Hindu published a review by Mini Kapoor, who wrote, "That Anam manages to bring all the strands together in the end speaks of the necessary truth in her fiction".[5]South China Morning Post gives the book 4.5 star out of 5, and calls the novel, "an unusual, uneven beauty, heart-wrenching sadness and rare imaginative power".[6] The Christian Science Monitor published a review by Terry Hong who calls the book, "a priceless literary gift".[7]Star Tribune published a mixed reveiew by Rayyan Al-Shawaf, who wrote, "...you’ll be moved by the author’s portrayal of hollowed-out characters pining for that which would make them whole again, but you might also find yourself puzzling over the nature of their bereavement. Indeed, Anam often skimps on explanation in favor of plunging into someone’s obsessive quest for redemption".[8] Nicholas Reid published a negative review in Stuff.co.nz who noted "At over 400 pages, this is a complex novel with many subordinate characters and many changes of scene. Also it uses big-brush symbolism.The dig for fossilised bones is like Zubaida's dig for her identity etc".[9]References1. ^{{citenews |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/may/29/tahmima-anam-bones-grace-novel-review-canongate-bangladesh |title=The Bones of Grace by Tahmima Anam – review |first=Anthony |last=Cummins |publisher=The Guardian |date= 29 May 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Bones Of Grace}}2. ^{{citenews |url=https://www.ft.com/content/834c6eb6-1856-11e6-b197-a4af20d5575e |title= The Bones of Grace’, by Tahmima Anam] |publisher=Financial Times|last=Akbar |first=Arifa |subscription= yes |date= 20 May 2016}} 3. ^{{citeweb|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/tahmima-anam/the-bones-of-grace/ |title=THE BONES OF GRACE |publisher=Kirkus Review |date= 31 March 2016}} 4. ^{{citeweb |url=https://www.bookbrowse.com/mag/reviews/index.cfm/book_number/3437/the-bones-of-grace#reviews |title=The Bones of Grace by Tahmima Anam |publisher= Book Review |first= Claire |last= McAlpine}} 5. ^{{citenews |url=http://www.thehindu.com/books/literary-review/mini-kapoor-reviews-the-bones-of-grace/article8629524.ece |title=Completing a graceful arc |publisher=The Hindu |date= 21 May 2016 |first=Mini |last= Kapoor}} 6. ^{{citenews |url=http://www.scmp.com/culture/books/article/1945647/book-review-bones-grace-uneven-beauty-heart-wrenching-sadness-and-rare |title=Book review: The Bones of Grace – uneven beauty, heart-wrenching sadness and rare power |publisher=South China Morning Post |first=Bron |last= Sibree|date=17 May 2016}} 7. ^{{citenews|url=https://www.csmonitor.com/layout/set/amphtml/Books/Book-Reviews/2016/0628/The-Bones-of-Grace-Anam-s-Bengal-trilogy-comes-to-a-graceful-close |title='The Bones of Grace': Anam's ‘Bengal trilogy’ comes to a graceful close|publisher= The Christian Science Monitor|date= 28 June 2016 |first=Terry |last=Hong}} 8. ^{{citenews|url= https://m.startribune.com/review-the-bones-of-grace-by-tahmima-anam/386871681/ |title= Review: 'The Bones of Grace,' by Tahmima Anam |date= 15 July 2016 |publisher= Star Tribune |first=Rayyan |last=Al-Shawaf}} 9. ^{{citenews |url=https://i.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/books/83906315/Review-The-Bones-of-Grace |title= Review: The Bones of Grace |publisher= Stuff.co.nz |first=Nicholas |last= Reid |date= 9 September 2016}} 8 : 2016 novels|Bangladeshi novels|Historical novels|War novels|Novels set in Bangladesh|1971 in fiction|John Murray (publisher) books|Bangladesh Liberation War fiction |
