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.

Henry Miller

This is an accusation, a slander, a personal insult. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a continuous insult, a spit in the face of Art, a foot in the tur against God, Man, Fate, Time, Love, Beauty...whatever you want.
