![]() The novel is punctuated with random tragedies that are tainted with the supernatural, giving the impression that no one should get in the way of destined love. For the next twenty years or so they circle around each other in unconsummated passion, until they are finally reunited.Ī love story with a difference I think so. Unfortunately for Tita she falls in love with Pedro, who in desperation to be close to her marries her sister Rosaura. I have just read a most beautiful book, Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel which is set around the time of the Mexican Revolution and tells the tale of Tita, who as the youngest daughter is forbidden to marry but has to take care of her mother until she dies in accordance with Mexican tradition. If you like books by Gabriel García Márquez or Isabel Allende, then I think you will definitely enjoy this. Anyway, I thought I would share it again as Like Water For Chocolate ( Como agua para chocolate) is really good and worth reading again. This is my #ThrowbackThursday post from 2009 when I was just testing the blogging waters to see how I would get on. ![]()
