Welcome to the Kitabi Karwan Podcast! For our second episode, I have a candid conversation with Vandana Singh - Lal, a debutant author, whose book So All is Peace is beautiful haunting. Exploring the unique scenario of the self-starvation of twin sisters in upper middle-class Delhi, the book is just as mysterious and interesting as the author. Tune in to listen to Vandana's fascinating journey to Oxford, the forests of Madhya Pradesh, the film studios of Mumbai and finally this novel.
