Twenty-five long years after the war that was supposed to liberate
Bangladesh and that instead, for far too many people, merely
brought fear, violence, and loss a young researcher arrives on the
doorstep of one survivor in Dhaka, Mariam, armed with a set of
questions that have no easy answers. How did Mariam and women like
her who lived through violence and rape survive the war? How did
the Pakistani army deal with women they found in homes, offices, or
colleges? Why did Mariam send her brother away to keep him safe
even as she stayed on? For Mariam, however, these questions are
irrelevant her demons are different. Could she have saved her
brother, she wonders? And what happened to the other men in her
life? What did the war do to them, and to her? A powerful novel of
shattering war and its aftermath, The Search tells of the
difficulty of picking up the pieces and moving on after personal
and national trauma.
