Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Die Autorin dieses Romans, Chitra Benerjee Divakaruni, wurde in Indien geboren, lebt aber schon lange in Amerika. Sie schrieb mehrere Romane und wurde gerade mit „Herrin der Gewürze“ berühmt.

Tilo ist ein Einwanderer aus Indien. Er betreibt einen Gewürzladen in der kalifornischen Stadt Oakland. Sie ist eine ausgezeichnete Kennerin der Gewürze und ihrer Kräfte, hat die Fähigkeit zu erahnen und in andere Welten zu blicken, heilt Kranke und hilft Menschen, die unglücklich sind. Meistens kommen indische Expats in ihren Laden, und eines Tages wird der amerikanische Rabe auftauchen. Zwischen ihnen entwickelt sich sofort gegenseitige Zuneigung, die sich schließlich in Liebe verwandelt. Der Roman strahlt eine besondere Atmosphäre aus und ähnelt am ehesten Romanen, die dem magischen Realismus zuzuordnen sind, beispielsweise dem Roman „Wie Wasser für Schokolade“ von Laura Esquivel.
