Produktbeschreibung

East Pakistan. March 1971. Imtiaz Khan arrives at his uncle's house in Dhaka for what he thinks will be a quick visit, only to be held back when the Pakistan Army makes a surprise attack on the University, murdering students and professors in cold blood. As the smell of sulphur and gunpowder become a part of their lives, young pro-independence fighters - the Mukti Bahini - find a haven in the home of Imtiaz's uncle and aunt, Kamruzzaman and Aisha Chowdhury, and they are swept up in the tide of freedom that drives them all. On the other side, Fazal Shaukat - a young captain in the Pakistan Army with a family name to live up to - finds that the war he has signed up for isn't
going away anytime soon. There are things bigger than him or his family at stake, even as Pakistan finds itself torn asunder, Jinnah's dream turning into a nightmare.
Set against the backdrop of a monumental historical event, In the Time of the Others is about what it
means to live during violent times. Fierce, searingly honest and revealing, this powerful debut explores how lives intersect during a time of war and upheaval, and how violence changes all that is human.
