The early session on the third morning of the Jaipur LitFest saw authors Priyanka Mattoo and Peter Godwin in an insightful conversation with Sayari Debnath on "Memoirs of Family, Loss and Exile".

Author and filmmaker Mattoo spoke about her book "Bird Milk and Mosquito Bones", a narrative of her search for home, from Kashmir to Los Angeles and the places in between.
