Episode 8 - Home Fire - by Kamila Shamsie

Bad People Book Club

Adapted from the story of Antigone, Home Fire is a novel about family and what people do to protect their family. We follow the unraveling of the Pasha family - as siblings Isma and Aneeka struggle while their brother Parvaiz sets out to fulfil their jihadist father’s legacy. This story collides with another British Muslim family - the Home Secretary and his son. The two families fight to definite what it means to be a British Muslim, while also fighting to preserve their family. As always we discuss our favourite chapters; introduce our cocktail for the month - The Karachi Rose; have some fun with 'Best Clapback,' 'Swipe Right,' and 'Toxic Masculinity'; go deep with 'Controversy or Nah?'; jam out to our playlist and do some good with our Community Segment.
