The Bones of Grace by Tahmima Anam

1.0

I have no idea why this book came on my radar - and I'm still not sure why. For some reason I had an expectation that the book would involve more paleontology - and more understanding of the lives of the men involved with the shipbreaking. Instead - we have Zubaida - struggling to be the good daughter - living an obedient life and marrying the son of some family friends. What Zubaida really wants is to be a paleontologist - uncovering the bones of centuries old creatures - and uncovering the story of her birth mother. All the while harboring love for a young man she met while she was at Harvard.
