Journalist Saima Mir’s debut novel, The Khan, tells the story of Jia Khan, daughter of Akbar Khan, the head of a powerful crime syndicate in a city in northern England. Jia has managed to escape this murky world and become a successful London barrister, but she is compelled to return to her home city and her family after a 15-year estrangement, as she must try to rein in the chaos created by her father’s murder.
The story has obvious parallels with Mario Puzo’s The Godfather: both are about organised crime and both tell the story from the perspective of the families and the immigrant community involved. Because of this, an easy way to reference the novel might be ‘The Godfather set in a city such as Bradford, with a female in the Michael Corleone role.’ But The Khan goes beyond that simple description, as it is also a searing indictment of white privilege and systemic racism in modern Britain. ....
