Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
4.0
This book, despite being a short novel, felt long to read. Perhaps that is with the passing passage of time (although I never quite knew what measure of time that was).
I found this book to be really thought provoking. Especially because I felt as though I empathised with tita and her dilemas but found her to make the wrong choices a lot of the time. It became hard to like her despite the sorrow I felt for her.
This story is very interesting in the manner in which I learnt a lot about Mexican customs and traditions, and the deep-rooted lack of choice women face. I enjoyed tita and her female counterparts journeys to liberation.
I also love the Aspect of magical realism
team John :( poor lad.
