Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is one of the best writers I have ever encountered. Mistress of Spices is the first novel of hers I read, and I was delighted to discover that she has written many others. Chapters in the book are named for different spices, and through each chapter, the main character discovers the unique voices of each spice, and learns of their hidden powers. This author writes the kind of book that is very difficult to put down. Her prose is beautifully rich and colorful; her ability to entrance an audience with her storytelling is tremendous. Themes found within many of her books include: Indian culture, struggles with disparate cultures & identities, family traditions, dynamics & bonds, and journeys of self-discovery. Her novels are cathartic and full of adventure. You'll be glad to discover this author, and her many other novels.
