March Book Review: Shiva’s Fire March 14, 2008

SHIVA’S FIRE is about a girl named Parvati, who has an extrordinary gift for Indian classical dance, and has strange things happen to her.  She discovers that she has the “Magic of Possibilities”  (however you spell that!) .  The main location of the book is a dance school in India, where Parvati grows up away from her family, finds (and loses) her best friend, and, for the second time in her life, becomes an outcast among people who fear her gift.  Most of the other students fall into this catagory.  I really enjoyed SHIVA’S FIRE because the characters are so real and human that I couldn’t help getting sucked into the story.  I look forward to reading more by the author!
