Winner of the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize, this is
the new novel from the author of 'King of the Badgers' and the Man
Booker-shortlisted 'The Northern Clemency'. "I was a baby during
the war. We stayed inside for months. All my aunts took turns in
feeding me. I couldn't be heard to cry. You see, there were
soldiers in the streets. They would have known what a crying baby
meant. So I had to be kept silent. No, not everyone came out of the
war alive." One family's life, and a nation - Bangladesh - are
uniquely created through conversation, sacrifice, songs, bonds,
blood, bravery and jokes. Narrated by a young boy born into a
savage civil war, 'Scenes from Early Life' is a heartbreaking,
funny and gripping novel by one of our finest writers.
