Like Water for Chocolate: A Novel in Monthly Installments with Recipes, Romances, and Home Remedies
4 journalers for this copy...
"The novel follows the story of a young girl named Tita who longs her entire life to marry her lover, Pedro, but can never have him because of her mother's upholding of the family tradition of the youngest daughter not marrying but taking care of her mother until the day she dies. Tita is only able to express herself when she cooks."

This worked better for me than Malinche did. Esquivel’s noble and heady disregard for the normal laws of science is more appropriate in this folk tale than in the quasi-biography. I am not usually one for recipes in novels, but the ones in this book felt like an organic part of the story rather than a self-conscious gimmick. While there were parts of this that concerned and/or irritated me, I did enjoy this book.
