Book Reviews of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE
Book Review: A Delight To The Senses
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first picked up this book, I'd heard of the movie, but had never seen it. I knew that this was a story of romance, that somehow involved cooking, but knew nothing more. So it was much to my delight that the book turned out to be a complete revelation.
The way Laura Esquivel describes Tita's love of Pedro and her passion for food, almost makes you want to grab the nearest man, and rush headfirst into the kitchen. And even though this book was originally published in Spanish, the language used in the English translation is rich and textured. You can feel the heat, hear the sounds of the kitchen, and smell the sauce bubbling on the stove, as our heroine (Tita) pours all her blood, sweat and tears into each dish.
Like Water For Chocolate is tragically sweet, but incredibly satisfying. Tita's gentle strength resonates throughout the story. And instead of feeling sorry for her, you can only admire this young woman, who is doing the best she can, with the circumstances that she's been given.
