Spices and Suspense

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
The Mistress of Spices, by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, is a fabulous book! It was riveting from beginning to end. It's a story about a witch/healer from India who is learning to cope with modern life in San Francisco and with the restrictions that come with her powers. One of those is that she must not mingle with the mortals she is trying to help.  But mingle she does when she falls in love with a customer, with interesting consequences. It's very complex, but compelling. I recommend it highly. It's also a movie, apparently, that came out in 2006. I may have to check that out!
