I ventured to my first Poultney Library book discussion. The series involves "food", of course. This month's author was Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni who wrote The Mistress of Spices. Nomally, I wouldn't read such a story: a tale of of fantasy, mystery, and intrique, a "romantic novel", of sorts. But each chapter was titled by a "spice" and what powers it had over people when the powers were invoked by the Mistress of Spices. So, I kept on reading!

Actually, an enjoyable book. The book group had lively discussions and a tasting of some Indian food to boot!

Looking forward to the next book.
