Gospodarica začina

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Spisateljica ovog romana Chitra Benerjee Divakaruni rođena je u Indiji, ali već dugo živi u Americi. Napisala je nekoliko romana, a proslavila se upravo "Gospodaricom začina".

Tilo je doseljenica iz Indije. U kalifornijskom gradu Oaklandu vodi dućan sa začinima. Vrsna je poznavateljica začina i njihovih moći, ima sposobnost proricanja i uvida u druge svjetove, liječi bolesne i pomaže ljudima koji su nesretni. U njezin dućan uglavnom dolaze indijski iseljenici, a jednog dana pojavit će se Amerikanac Raven. Među njima će se odmah razviti međusobna naklonost koja će na kraju prerasti u ljubav. Roman odiše posebnom atmosferom, a najsličniji je romanima koji pripadaju magičnom realizmu, primjerice romanu "Kao voda za čokoladu" Laure Esquivel.
