"Divakaruni is gifted with dramatic inventiveness, lyrical sensual language, the ability to interweave many points of view with ease. (In her world, all of the characters and some inanimate beings--including the shifting fog that rises from the Pacific before dawn--come alive.) But she tends toward excess. A rigorous editor could have pruned some of the overwrought language in this novel....But THE VINE OF DESIRE offers many delights, and Divakaruni has left enough loose ends to suggest another installment in her potent and complex tale of female friendship."Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee is the author of 'Vine of Desire A Novel', published 2003 under ISBN 9780385497305 and ISBN 038549730X.
