    Extractions: Buy This Art Print At AllPosters.com "The Bidhata Purush is tall and has a long, spun-silk beard like the astrologer my mother visits each month to find out what the planets have in store for her. He is dressed in a robe made of the finest white cotton, his fingers drip light, and his feet do not touch the ground as he glides toward us. When he bends over our cradle, his face is so blinding-bright I cannot tell his expression. With the first finger of his right hand he marks our foreheads. It is a tingly feeling, as when Pishi rubs stiger-balm on our temples. I think I know what he writes for Anju. You will be brave and clever, you will fight injustice, you will not give in. You will marry a fine man and travel the world and have many sons. You will be happy. It is more difficult to imagine what he writes for me. Perhaps he writes beauty, for though I myself do not think so, people say I am beautiful - even more than my mother was in the first years of her marriage. Perhaps he writes goodness, for though I am not as obedient as my mother would like, I try hard to be good. There is a third word he writes, the harsh angles of which sting like fire, making me wail, making Pishi sit up, rubbing her eyes. But the Bidhata Purush is gone already, and all she sees is a swirl - cloud or sifted dust - outside the window, a fading glimmer, like fireflies.

Divakaruni’s narrative elegance serves not to reduce the emotional impact of her fiction but rather to concentrate and intensify it. After two enormously successful novels, including the splendid Sister of My Heart (1998), she returns to the short-story form with which she had such success in Arranged Marriages abhimaan , which describes a “mix of love and anger and hurt.” This is the very turmoil Divakaruni captures so indelibly in stories about doting Indian grandparents and skittish American grandchildren, a young mother unsure about whether she can forgive her father for abandoning her and her mother, and a young Indian American woman who travels to India after a suicide attempt to try and recalibrate her life. These hauntingly beautiful stories of epiphany and catharsis place Divakaruni in the vanguard of fine literary writers who touch a broad spectrum of readers. — Donna Seaman (Booklist/March 1, 2001)

    Extractions: b. 1957 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. Mistress of Spices Biography - Criticism Selected Bibliography Related Links Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni was born in 1957 in Calcutta, India. 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." This topic would eventually become very important to Divakaruni's writing. Divakaruni was raised as and still is a devout Hindu. She attended a convent school in India run by Irish nuns during her childhood. She went on to earn a bachelor's degree from the University of Calcutta.

Search Women Writers Full Product Review An immigrant family comes to the US to find their fortune in the land of plenty and opportunity. It's a familiar premise to a multitude of literary works that usually have a happy ending, with everyone settling in just fine and making a new life for themselves. Not so in The Vine of Desire Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's epic novel tells the story of one family's experiences in the United States. Originally from India, Sunil and his wife Anju are dealing with friction in their marriage after the miscarriage of their son. Both have shut out a lot of emotion from their relationship, as Sunil concerns himself with climbing the corporate ladder and Anju begins taking college writing courses. To make matters even more complicated, Sudha, Anju's cousin from India, comes to America to get away from the tatters of an abusive marriage. She brings her young daughter Dayita with her, and Sunil jumps at the opportunity to be a father figure to the young girl. Unfortunately, that is not all that Sunil wants: he is in love with Sudha, always has been, and her being right there under his roof brings back those latent feelings.

    Extractions: In einer anderen Geschichte ist die Mutter nach dem Tod ihres Mannes zu ihrem einzigen Sohn und dessen Familie nach Amerika gekommen. Bist du glücklich? fragt ihre älteste Freundin sie in ihren Briefen. Glück - was ist Glück? Ich weiß es nicht mehr, wird sie ihr zum Ende der Geschichte antworten. Denn hier in Amerika ist nichts von dem, was sie ihr Leben lang gemacht hat, mehr richtig. Die Enkel sind ganz anders erzogen, sind nicht mehr zur Achtung der Älteren angehalten, und lieben sie auch nicht so, wie sie es sich erhofft hatte. Vor allem aber: niemand braucht sie hier... Natürlich haben nicht alle Erzählungen in diesem Band das gleiche Niveau, manchmal rutscht sowohl die Sprache als auch der Inhalt ab. Aber in den meisten Fällen ist es der Autorin sehr überzeugend gelungen, den Zwiespalt zwischen zwei Kulturen lebendig werden zu lassen. Was passiert, wenn man entweder versucht, die Wurzeln zu verleugnen, oder die alten Traditionen hinter sich zu lassen - und sie einen dann doch wieder einholen, wie bei dem jungen Pärchen, die beide in Amerika aufgewachsen sind, und sich nun trotzdem durch einen Heiratsvermittler kennen lernen. Dieses Aufeinanderprallen von alt und jung, Tradition und Moderne ist faszinierend zu lesen, und lässt das Verständnis für die Probleme von Einwanderern auf jeden Fall wachsen. Zwar nicht unbedingt große Literatur, aber auf jeden Fall lesenswert!

Als ihr Mann jedoch von ihr erwartet, dass sie das Kind, das sie erwartet, abtreiben lässt, weil es nur eine Tochter ist, trennt sie sich - trotz aller Schande, die dies für eine indische Frau bedeutet, von ihm. Und da Anju nach einer Fehlgeburt dringend nach familiärer Anteilnahme dürstet, lässt sie Sudha und ihre Tochter zu sich kommen. Schließlich ahnt sie nicht im Geringsten, welche Gefühle ihr Angetrauter für ihre liebste Vertraute hegt.

    Extractions: The day Sudha stepped off the plane from India into Anju's arms, leaving a ruined marriage behind, their lives changed forever. And not just Sudha's and Anju's. Sunil's life changed, too. And baby Dayita's. Like invisible sound waves that ripple out and out, the changes reached all the way to India, to Ashok waiting on his balcony for the wind to turn. To their mothers in the neat squareness of their flat, upsetting the balance of their household, causing the mango pickles to turn too-sour and the guava tree in the backyard to grow extra-large pink guavas. The changes multiplied the way vines might in a magical tale, their tendrils reaching for people whose names Sudha and Anju did not even know yet. Were the changes good or bad?
