The mistress of spices - Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

on Thursday, July 8, 2010

This was a good read. It starts out with the Tilo who is made a mistress of spices in California and how she uses spices to heal everyone. She is not allowed to touch the people she talks to. But one fine day, a guy comes in and she gets carried away with him. I did not like the love angle as such. But the description of each spice in each chapter and the way it is used to heal people, I somehow felt convinced that spices have powers heheh :) I liked it but not as much as Palace of Illusions.
