The Radio 2 Book Club with Hafsa Zayyan

Hafsa Zayyan's novel is We Are All Birds Of Uganda and Romesh Ranganathan is the guest reviewer on the second Radio 2 Book Club of 2021.

Hafsa Zayyan's novel We Are All Birds Of Uganda is the second choice of the Radio 2 Book Club for 2021 and Hafsa discusses it. Plus there's the Factoids, the Non-Stop Oldies and the latest entertainment and lifestyle news.
Comedian and broadcaster Romesh Ranganathan is the guest on the Book Club to share his thoughts on the novel and find out what he’s been reading recently, listeners give their reviews.
Hafsa won the inaugural #Merky Books New Writer’s Prize in 2019 and this book is inspired by the mixed background from which she hails.
The novel moves between two continents over a troubled century - present day London and 1960s Uganda - covering themes of loss, love and what it means to find a home.
