A Golden Age (41 page)

Authors: Tahmima Anam

I will always be especially grateful to Nehal Ahmed, without whose patience and unstinting support this book would have never been written or finished. Thanks also to Najma and Jalaluddin Ahmed, for their unflagging optimism.

Finally, it needs to be said that this book is what it is only because of the place that inspired it. And so, to my beautiful and bruised country, to Bangladesh – my gratitude and love.
