Vanitha Sankaran - Book Reading and Signing June 19, 2010

Meet Vanitha Sankaran as she reads from and signs copies of her book, Watermark. The daughter of a papermaker in a small French village in the year 1320—mute from birth and forced to shun normal society—young Auda finds solace and escape in the wonder of the written word. Believed to be cursed by those who embrace ignorance and superstition, Auda's very survival is a testament to the strength of her spirit.
