Обложка Katy Gardner: Songs At the River's Edge (PDF)

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.

Above all Songs at the River’s Edge is written from a deep respect of Bangladesh and its country.
