No book has affected me this much in a long time. Amazing book. Couldn’t put the book down until I finished it. Feels like I lived through it. Though I am not from Afghanistan, still could identify with the storyline at so many levels!
What else can I say? An amazing book!
Can’t wait for Boo to come back from her vacation so that I can discuss it with her!

A very nice effort by the TN Education board!
I heard about the book “Mistress of Spices” 3-4 of years ago. But never had the inclination to read it as the synopsis did not interest me much. Then I came to know it is being made into a movie, so I thought I would watch it. Beginning of this year, I found this book “Invisible Lives” by Anjali Banerjee in the local library. So decided to give it a shot. What does it remind me of, “Mistress of Spices”? Then I saw the movie “Mistress of Spices” last night, it confirmed my doubt. Invisible lives has the same knot as the other. Mistress of spices deals with an Indian woman who can heal people with the magic of spices and whose magic gets clouded when she falls in love with a caucasian man. Invisible lives deals with an Indian woman who can heal people with the saris that she chooses for them and whose magic gets clouded when she falls in love with a caucasian man. Do you see the similarity or is it just me? Am I the only person who knows about these two books?
