SALON EXCLUSIVE: Yasmin Cordery Khan reads from 'Edgware Road'

You may have noticed the rise in popularity of compelling novels written across dual timelines. We say: the more the merrier! This week we’re spotlighting one such novel, Edgware Road. It explores the story of Khalid, an immigrant father and gambler who goes missing in 1981. In 2003, his daughter Alia, now a young academic at Oxford, is on a mission to discover who her father really was. A family mystery, a daughter’s journey, and the exploration of what it means to be an immigrant in London are all explored in this page-turning novel. ‘An elegant and moving book from a highly promising new voice in fiction' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland Edgware Road by Yasmin Cordery Khan is published by Head of Zeus and available now. We recommend buying from your local indie or you can get it from our shop at bookshop.org. Signed copies are also available to purchase from Queen’s Park Bookshop with delivery to anywhere in the UK. And whilst you're looking for upcoming literary loveliness, we have exciting upcoming Salons in April and May 2022, with Booker Prize Winner Douglas Stuart and world premieres from Kit De Waal and Abi Morgan.
