Como agua para chocolate

by Laura Esquivel (México)
Novel, 284 pages

This moving story of rural family life (and strife) and the passionate love between Tita and Pedro unfolds against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution of the early 1900s. Magical realism and traditional Mexican cooking are as important to the plot as the beautifully drawn characters and vivid scene descriptions. The film Like Water for Chocolate actually does justice to this unforgettable and now legendary novel.

For high intermediate and above; adult readers
