Mansi Shah, author of The Taste of Ginger The Best of Women's Fiction

Mansi Shah and Lainey talk about The Taste of Ginger, which Booklist calls “a poignant debut novel, that touches on the immigrant experience in America”.

We chat about how Mansi weaved important themes into a novel which many readers have called “thought-provoking” and makes for great book club conversation. Also, how growing up with no stories that represented her cultural heritage provided Mansi’s inspiration, and how her perspective on telling an authentic story has changed from when she first started writing ten years ago.
