Without giving spoilers, I am VERY UPSET upon finishing. I felt like the writing was excellent and the character were great, but the final chapter made me really mad. Still one of the best books I've read. But what the heck!

Romantic magic realism with a lot of crying, sensuous I think is the word.

¿Cómo no amar esta novela? Cualquier estomago mexicano lo amará.
Laura Esquivel toma el recurso de amor shakespiriano, las tradiciones conservadoras del Norte de México, la revolución mexicana, la frontera, el realismo mágico y todos los sabores y los aromas de mi México.
Sin duda un nuevo clásico de la literatura mexicana.


Tita, te amo.

Not happy with this book!!! What was with that ending!! Overall very unsatisfying, it had such potential to raise women up and be empowering and have a good moral and instead the author chose to go in the complete opposite direction. The recipes were nice. Magical realism is good too.
