Dymocks Luncheon with Shankari Chandran (SOLD OUT)

About
Shankari Chandran was raised in Canberra Australia and spent a decade in London, working as a lawyer in the social justice field. Her novel Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens won the 2023 Miles Franklin Literary Award. Her much anticipated new book Safe Haven is about displacement and seeking refuge. But ultimately it’s a story about finding home and the lengths you’ll go to find safety and love.In Safe Haven, Fina arrives in Australia seeking asylum. She dedicates herself to aiding the refugees who are held in Port Camden, a remote island outpost. Over time she settles into a life within a community of like-minded people, finding a new family, far from her original home. After she speaks out for those being detained, Fina becomes the focus of a media storm that leads to her arrest, and the threat of deportation.
