"LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE" written by Laura Esquivel
It's a novel about romance and magical realism but also a recipe book, because it's split in months and each month has a mexican recipe and an story with it.
The main character is Tita who is the youngest sister in her family, and becouse of that she's the one who has to take care of her mother (Mama Elena) until she die, and that is why Tita can not marry with any one and never start a family. Of course she fall in love of someone, his name is Pedro and he loved her too, but he made a mistake and took her sister Rosaura as wife, that destroyed Tita, but she didn't know that Pedro did this becouse he though it was the only way of being close to her. During the story Tita learnt how to cook and through the food she could express her self and make it feel to anyone who eat her food just like she was feeling and with her food she expresed her love to Pedro.
It's is a sad and lovely novel that definitely you should read, becouse show you who unfair life could be and how you just have to keep going even when life take you down, also show you how is posible love someone that you shoul hate becouse all the memories that bring you back.
I think this story let us note that traditions are not always a good thing and that we should live our lifes as we want but without hurting anybody.
Finally I really like this novel becouse showed me that there is nothing more beatiful that love and let you swayed by passion.
