Songs At the River’s Edge [PDF ebook] 
Stories From a Bangladeshi Village

Support

Katy Gardner’s account of her fifteen-month stay in the small Bangladeshi village of Talukpur has become a classic study of rural life in South Asia.
Through a series of beautifully crafted narratives, the villagers and their stories are brought vividly to life and the author’s role as an outsider sensitively conveyed in her descriptions of the warm friendships she makes.
Above all Songs at the River’s Edge is written from a deep respect of Bangladesh and its country.
