What happens when a brown woman dares to want more—more power, more freedom, more than the life she was told to be grateful for?

In this gripping episode of Bold Brown British, Quarina sits down with award-winning author Dur e Aziz Amna to dissect her electrifying new novel A Splintering. Set in a politically charged Pakistan and centred around Tara—a woman clawing her way from rural obscurity to urban ambition—the novel is a storm of motherhood, desire, rage, and class struggle.

We talk:

  • Ambition and obsession as feminist acts
  • The price of breaking free from patriarchy
  • Sensuality, survival, and the brown female body
  • Class divides and the politics of respectability
  • Whether all of us, deep down, are a little bit Tara

Buckle up, samosas—this one is raw, riveting, and unapologetically bold.

🎧 New episodes every week where brownness isn’t a box—it’s a whole bookshelf.

👉 Don’t forget to rate, review, and share with your boldest friends.
💌 As always, sending you love and spice.
