The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Those in the mood for a bit of a fairy tale might enjoy this story of Tilo, a mysterious priestess who has arrived in California from a magic Indian island to set up a shop dispensing spices which will give her customers whatever they most desire. All is well until she falls under the spell of a lonely American and finds herself having to choose between following her heart or losing her powers.
