Zubaida Haque, a passionate woman on the brink of an adventurous journey, sets out from Boston to uncover the bones of the walking whale, a significant fossil that is a missing link in human evolution. It is here, in a darkened concert hall, that she meets Elijah Strong, a man from a quintessential American family. Their immediate connection defies cultural boundaries, yet societal pressures pull Zubaida back into the arms of her traditional Bangladeshi life, where she unexpectedly marries her childhood friend.

Description:
On the eve of her departure from Boston to find the bones of the walking whale-the fossil that provides a missing link in our evolution-Zubaida Haque falls in love with Elijah Strong, a man she meets in a darkened concert hall.
The two immediately connect despite their differences- Elijah belongs to a prototypical American family, whereas Zubaida is the adopted daughter of a wealthy family in Dhaka. But when a twist of fate sends her back to her hometown, the inevitable force of society compels her to take a very different path, and before she knows it she's married to her childhood best friend and discontentedly settled into a traditional Bangladeshi life.
In a final bid to escape familial constraints, she moves to Chittagong to help make a documentary film about the infamous shipbreaking beaches, where ships are destroyed and their various parts put up for sale.
Here she meets Anwar, a shipbreaker whose story holds a key that unlocks for Zubaida not only the mysteries of her past but the possibilities of a new life-and she will make a choice from which she can never turn back.
