Can travelling bring a family back together? In conversation with Yusuf Poonawala

Can a road trip through Spain bring a family back together? In this conversation, I speak with Yusuf Poonawala about his novel The Spanish Table—a story of four family members, four secrets, and a journey that changes how they see themselves and one another. Azam Shroff plans a self-drive holiday through Spain without telling his wife. What begins as an unexpected gesture becomes a journey into the unspoken tensions of a family living together but growing emotionally apart. From the lively streets of Madrid to the quiet valleys of Navarra and the rhythms of Andalucía, Spain becomes much more than a destination. Its landscapes, food and encounters with strangers encourage the family to confront difficult truths and rediscover forgotten parts of themselves. In this conversation, we explore: The inspiration behind The Spanish Table How travel can repair and transform relationships Family secrets and the importance of honest conversations Parental expectations and the struggle to find one's own identity Spain's culture, landscapes and culinary traditions Why sharing a meal can create unexpected connections At its heart, The Spanish Table asks an important question: What if we need to step away from the familiar to understand ourselves and the people we love? If you enjoy books about family, relationships, travel and personal transformation, this conversation is for you. Enjoyed this conversation?
