In The Mistress of Spices Arranged Marriage , a work that includes stories about the abuse and courage of immigrant women. Arranged Marriage and her novel, The Mistress of Spices, are both highly acclaimed works by Divakaruni. In Arranged Marriage The Mistress of Spices is unique in that it is written with a blend of prose and poetry. The book has a very mystical quality to it, and, as Divakaruni puts it, "I wrote in a spirit of play, collapsing the divisions between the realistic world of twentieth century America and the timeless one of myth and magic in my attempt to create a modern fable" ("Dissolving" 2). The novel follows Tilo, a magical figure who runs a grocery store and uses spices to help the customers overcome difficulties. In the process, she develops dilemmas of her own when she falls in love with a non-Indian. This creates great conflicts, as she has to choose whether to serve her people or to follow the path leading to her own happiness. Tilo has to decide which parts of her heritage she will keep and which parts she will chose to abandon. The novel is currently being made into a movie.

Contact us (please note that we have no contact with the writers and cannot provide contact information) I am the mistress of spices. I can work the others too. Mineral, metal, earth and sand and stone. The gems with their cold clear light. The liquids that burn their hues into your eyes till you see nothing else. I learned them all on the island. But the spices are my love. I know their origins, and what their colors signify, and their smells. I can call each by the true-name it was given at first, when earth split like skin and offered it up to the sky. Their heat runs in my blood. From amachur to zafran, they bow to my command. At a whisper they bow to my command. At a whisper they yield up to me their hidden properties, their magical powers.

One of her first memories is that of her grandfather telling her the stories from Ramayan and Mahabharat, ancient Indian epics. She quickly noticed that "interestingly, unlike the male heroes, the main relationships [the] women had were with the opposite sex-with their husbands, sons, lovers, or opponents. They never had any important women friends" (

Extractions: Ordering Books Arranged Marriage (1995) Arranged Marriage , Chitra's first collection of stories, focuses on women from India caught between two worlds. The characters are "both liberated and trapped by cultural changes," struggling to carve out an identity of their own. Read an excerpt... For the young girls and women brought to life in these stories, the possibility of change, of starting anew, is both as terrifying and filled with promise as the ocean that separates them from their homes in India. From the story of a young bride whose fairy-tale vision of California is shattered when her husband is murdered and she must face the future on her own, to a proud middle-aged divorced woman determined to succeed in San Francisco, Divakaruni's award-winning poetry fuses here with prose for the first time to create eleven devastating portraits of women on the verge of an unforgettable transformation. In one story, "Doors," the character Preeti, after moving to the United States, has come to love the western idea of privacy. She faces a dilemma when her husband's cousin wants to come live with them. She expresses her discontent with the situation, which shows her newfound decisiveness and her fight against her husband's view of a traditional Indian wife. In another story, "Clothes," the husband of the narrator, Sumita, dies and she is faced with the decision of staying in America or going back to India to live with her in-laws. Sumita calls widows who are serving their in-laws in India "doves with cutoff wings." Divakaruni deals with a variety of issues in the book, including racism, interracial relationships, economic disparity, abortion, and divorce. She says that the stories are inspired by her imagination and the experiences of others.
