Our next book and meet...
We'll be meeting at 5.15pm Tuesday 4 June in the Library exhibition Space and online (on Teams) to chat about The Khan by Saima Mir.
'The ideas here are marvellous: material for a family crime saga set in a Bradford that's as dangerous, gritty and glamorous as any Gotham City Batman had to rescue'. Goodreads
'The Khan is an utterly powerful and complex novel, a gripping tale of the criminal underworld, set in a bleak northern city where our main protagonist Jia Khan returns to a life she had fully intended to leave behind'. Goodreads
'A fascinating lead character who finds hereof in charge of a powerful criminal empire is she seeking revenge or power?' Goodreads
