Books That Took Us Places ft Sanjna

What if you could visit Afghanistan, Vietnam, Fiji, Sri Lanka, and the English countryside — all without leaving your reading chair?In this episode, Sanjna is back and we're talking about books that took us places. We explore how books have transported us to corners of the world we may never physically visit, and how historical fiction lets us travel back in time — to British India, colonial Sri Lanka, and Fiji's past. We also discuss how reading translations has opened up the world far beyond English-speaking UK and USA, and how all of this travel through pages makes us more informed and culturally aware readers.Books mentioned: The Pearl That Broke Its Shell, A Room Without Windows, My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird (Afghanistan) · Dust Child, Wandering Souls (Vietnam) · A Disappearance in Fiji · The Tea Planter's Wife (Sri Lanka) · Death by Dumpling · Love with a Chance of Drowning (Pacific Islands) · Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series (Italy) · Famous Five · Tom Lake (Countryside) · Murder in Old Bombay · The Bangalore Detectives ClubShare your suggestions & feedback on: https://www.instagram.com/beingbibliophile7/
