Episode 83 of the Stories to Love podcast features Mansi Shah.
Mansi Shah writes contemporary fiction novels with a focus on her Indian heritage and family relationships. She currently lives in Los Angeles, but she was born in Toronto, Canada, raised in the midwestern United States, and studied at universities in America, Australia, and England. When she’s not writing, she’s traveling and exploring different cultures near and far (having traveled to around 70 countries and counting), experimenting on a new culinary creation, or working on her tennis game or swim strokes.
In this episode we discussed her most recent release, The Direction of the Wind, where we talked about how Mansi wanted to write about mental health and how her chapter 1’s remain the same. We also talked about how she tackled its dual timeline narrative, and the novel’s deeply flawed characters.
