Quiero empezar con lo obvio: La Mamá Elena es la villana principal de este cuento. Es una madre egoísta, narcisista, y abusiva. A causa de ella, dos de sus tres hijas tuvieron que pasar su adultez en desprecio y miseria, también destruyó la relación entre las hermanas. Me parecía interesante ver el desarrollo de Rosaura, y cómo fue convirtiéndose en su madre. Igual de egoísta, igual de narcisista y abusiva
Para terminar, quiero notar que este libro tiene momentos muy… sensuales, digamos. Más de una vez, las personas se ponen cachondas después de comer la comida de Tita (la comida de Tita literally made Gertudis’ pussy throb).
¿Que fue creativo? Sí. ¿Que fue ridículo y un poco perturbador? También que sí. ¿Que si me gustó este libro? Sí. ¿Que me lo voy a guardar? Quizás. ¿Que lo recomiendo? Sí, sin duda.
