The Mirror of Fire and Dreaming - The Conch Bearer
Chitra Divakaruni
|
The author of this series is such an extraordinary storyteller that I couldn't put the books down. They are set in India, which is so vividly evoked I could taste the food, smell the spices, see the land and people. And the characters are forever in my heart -- twelve-year-old Anand, who supports his mother and sick sister in the crowded city of Kolkata; Nisha, a spunky girl of the streets who accompanies Anand on his quest, and a mysterious old man named Abhaydatta, who asks Anand to carry a magical conch back to its rightful home in a pristine valley of the Himalayas. The challenges these three encounter are enormous. Anand discovers his own profound gifts along the way, ones that demand he make a heartbreaking decision to become who he really is when he finally reaches the Brotherhood of Healers.
