Why read it?
1 author picked Divining the Leaves as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love Shveta Thakrar’s use of descriptive imagery as she weaves the contemporary young adult world into the enchanted forest realm of the yakshas. This book, which is full of fairy tale imagery and steeped in Indian mythology, brings readers to the Night Market, a magical place where the Fae sell their wares. The main character, Ridhi, creates natural perfumes, and Thakrar’s writing is so immersive the pages smell like spring rains and bouquets of wildflowers. Divining the Leaves is a beautiful exploration of folklore not often circulated in Western culture, and it lingers like a favorite scent!
