Description
Tilo, a priestess of the secret powers of spices, runs an Indian spice shop in Oakland, California. Her shop is more than just a place to buy curries and kormas - it's a source of wisdom and guidance for those seeking a deeper connection. Tilo dispenses her expertise to customers from all walks of life, using the magical properties of spices to address their deepest desires and troubles. From Ahuja's wife, caught in an unhappy marriage, to Jagjit, a victim of racist attacks, to the noisy bougainvillaea girls, Tilo's shop is a refuge for those seeking solace and understanding. But when a lonely American customer enters the shop, Tilo finds herself torn between her duty to help and her own forbidden desires. As she navigates this complex web of relationships and desires, Tilo must confront the universal mysteries of the human heart. With its heady scents, humour, and lyrical prose, this novel explores the clash between East and West, revealing the intricate threads that bind us all.
