About this listen
We're here with Mansi Shah!
Born in Toronto to Indian immigrants, Mansi Shah is the author of Saving Face, A Good Indian Girl, The Taste of Ginger, and The Direction of the Wind, which center on Gujarati characters and speak to generational differences across the Indian diaspora. Now based in Los Angeles, Mansi left her long-time career as an entertainment attorney in Hollywood to travel the world and write full time. She loves to cook, and food often plays a prominent role in her books.
This is the second time that Mansi has been on the podcast, and what a great conversation. We talked about her most recent release, Saving Face, and how she came upon the story and inspiration by accident. We talk about why she calls herself a research nerd, how the ending of this book was an example of where life imitates art. We touch on the topic of authenticity in her books and talked a lot about rest.
