Title: Wonderful!
Review: Although I think I prefered 'Sister of my Heart', both are a wonderful peek in Indian life and culture. I have long had a passion for Indian authors, so any Indian book I read reminds me of freshly baked Naan and Salman Rushdie.I adore both, and generally love Indian Literature, especially the most exotic varieties. In that sense, 'Mistress of Spices' does not disappoint. I found a interest in spices slowly seeping into my body, and although the spice powers presented in this book are fictious, I have began to incorporate more into my cooking.At it's best, this book was an exotic, simple and swift read, full of love and and spices, and it worst it was a tad contrived. I think that 'Mistress of Spices' is well worth the time and effort, and I look forward to reading 'Arranged Marriages'.
