Summary
Renita D'Silva: The Secret Spice
A touching, unforgettable story of love, betrayal and one woman's incredible sacrifice.
India, 1939. Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Bindu is desperately lonely. Before her marriage, she was a highly sought after cook. In his new home, he is not even allowed to enter the kitchen. He can still smell the fragrant spices on the tip of his tongue and the fine powder of turmeric on his fingertips. She finds solace in writing down new recipes and coming up with spice mixes, hoping to one day try them or at least pass on the knowledge to the child she carries under her breast.
When her jealous husband discovers the recipe book, she closes it and isolates it from the rest of the world. Her only desire will be to bring a healthy child into the world.
Exhausted after giving birth, as she tenderly kisses her baby, Bindu reaches for the powder in the bowl and applies it to the child's forehead. She tries to hide her tears behind a sari as she hands her daughter over to a stranger, wondering if she will ever see her again.
London, 1990. The most precious gift Eve received from her beloved father was a handwritten cookbook with Indian recipes. Her father never spoke to her about her mother, because it was too painful for him to remember the time he spent in India. But now that he's gone, Eve is desperate to learn more about her origins. While grieving for his father, he begins to grind and mix the spices carefully written down in the recipes. Are the crumbling pages the key to unlocking the secrets of her past?
