Summary: Fabulous Read!
Review: SISTER OF MY HEART is a beautiful, many-layered exploration of the love between sisters and female friends. The plot is intricate and suspenseful and full of rich, glimmering detail. Reading Divakaruni makes me wish to go to India. I recommend this book especially to those in a bookclub.

Summary: Definitivamente Buenísimo!
Review: Recomiendo este libro bastante. La historia es rica, los personajes son interesantes, y la forma en como está narrada la historia es peculiarmente magnífica: los personajes principales son Anju y Sudha, y cada una va narrando la historia intercaladamente en primera persona, lo cual genera un efecto bastante bueno. La historia permite aprender mucho sobre el estilo de vida en la sociedad Hindú de una forma entretenida.

Summary: Cloying prose!
Review: Exotic and wholly incredible plot with disguised, long-lost fathers and ruby caves! Divakaruni's prose is poor and frequently verges on the cloying. Like in the Arranged Marriage stories, her feminism seems restricted to male bashing.But Divakaruni certainly knows what sells.

Summary: Who's the sister of your heart?
Review: I loved this book from the moment I picked it up. It is an inspirational tale that takes you on a journey that is full of unconditional love, pain, good and bad times and how all of life is in the hands of fate and destiny. It encourages you to re-evaluate your very own relationships with your mother, sisters, best friends, etc. Readers will be reminded of how important the bonds and ties we share in our real lives are.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: This book was an excellent book! When you're reading you almost become part of the book...rejoicing when something good happens to one of the characters and feeling the same unhappiness when one of them were hurt. The author makes you feel what all of the emotions that the characters go through. I really recommend this book for all of the Indians and non Indians out there! This book is definitely worth buying! The definite difference that is depicted in this novel is unbelievable...the difference between life in India, and life in America. And the changes that people go through mentally, and the attitude changes that take place! They are very vividly described but made part of the story. This is one book EVERYONE should buy, believe me, you WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Summary: Magical
Review: This is a brilliant book. I couldn't stop reading and now that I finished it, I feel sad that there isn't more. Beautiful the way Divakaruni still seems to believe in true love. A great gift for beloved ones.

Summary: a warm and friendly read
Review: I don't usually read thgis type of novel but my sister raved about this book so much I had to see what all the fuss was about. She was right. From the very beginning I fell in love with the characters and enjoyed spending time in India growing up with the girls. I got so caught up in the story that I was saddened when it was over. There are some great twists and turns to the story and I loved them all. A great summer read or any time.

Summary: I used to be a CBD fan...
Review: I read Mistress of Spices, swallowed the schmaltz and applauded the style and insight. I used to follow her Salon columns with a touching fidelity--and she never let me down. And then I opened Sister of my Heart. Why would a novelist of such talent resort to the worst sort of cliches? Ruby mines? Mysterious (and scarred) drivers turning up shortly after the mysterious death of a father? A completely unimaginative take on marriage-in-India gone wrong, on marriage-in-the-US turned sour, and the final, completely predictable denouement. Say this isn't true, Divakaruni, say it was a momentary lapse of reason and get back to the kind of writing we all know and love.

Summary: Very fine, engrossing, beautiful book filled with feeling
Review: I loved this book. It was quite lovely and powerful in its depiction of these two 'near' sisters, their close, loving relationship, and their lives. Fine description, use of language, wonderful characters!
Rating:
Summary: Her best work yet!
Review: I finishes this in one sitting...did not put it down till it was done! I felt she was describing me in so many places...the best part is the way the story of the princess and the snake keeps changing to reflect the present circumstances of the sisters. The end was kind of a letdown though. A showdown between Anju and Sunil regarding Sudha was forthcoming!
