Behind the Mic Podcast

Narrator Deepti Gupta is a wonderful choice for Anjali Enjeti’s powerful historical novel about the violent partition of India. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss the moving narration that earned Gupta the honor of Best Female Narrator at the 2022 Audie Awards. Through her delivery, listeners feel sympathy for young Deepa, who is caught in a moment of personal and national confusion. Listeners go from India in the late 1940s to present-day Atlanta, with Gupta carrying the story forward to Deepa’s estranged granddaughter Shan.
