For this week's Booksmart chat, Phoebe got to sit down with the brilliant Shankari Chandran to discuss her latest book Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens (that casually won the Miles Franklin Literary Award....!).

Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens is a moving book about family and memory, community and race, but is ultimately a love letter to storytelling and how our stories shape who we are.

A note to listeners: this episode was recorded ahead of the Australian Indigenous Voice referendum.
