What to expect
Ten years later, war breaks out in East Pakistan. The struggle for liberation and the emergence of Bangladesh affects the family in ways they could never have foreseen.
Spanning twenty years and two countries, Hashim & Family is the story of migration and belonging, and the bond of kinship, and is the debut of an extraordinary new talent.
(P) 2020 Hodder & Stoughton Ltd
