I have become a great fan of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. She has a way of portraying the women that stirs something deep within my own heart. She weaves a world of fantasy so good that you are lost in it and it is hard to put the book down lest you have to face reality....
Recently I read her book "Sister of my heart" which portraits the life of two girls growing up together and how their life changes after marriage and how they seek each other to comfort them in times of sadness and tragedy.
Divakaruni has described the Bengali life very well and does a great job in building up the relationship of the sisters.
Great book to read and would recommend it to all.
On a side note, there is a sequel to this book called "Vine of Desire" which for some reason I did not like as much.
But I really liked her other books - "Mistress of Spices", "Queen of Dreams" and "Palace of Illusions".
More about my thoughts on Palace of Illusions in my next Post.
Cheers and have a great week.
PS: I know I have been kind of lax in posting to my blogs. But hopefully I am back on track and will post more often.
