A dazzling tale of misbegotten dreams and desires, hopes and expectations, woven with poetry and storyteller magic.
Amy Tan
An unusual, clever, and often exquisite first novel...The result is rather as if Isabel Allende met Laura Esquivel.
Los Angeles Times
A splendid novel, beautifully conceived and crafted.
Pat Conroy
Mythical and mystical, Mistress of Spices is reminiscent of fables and fairy tales. . . . The story Divakaruni tells is transporting, but it is her gift for metaphor that makes this novel live and breathe, its pages as redolent as any freshly ground spice.
Booklist
I read Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s novel The Mistress of Spices and felt excited and empowered by the way she used words
