Like Water for Chocolate

Okay, I finished this book weeks ago, but I’m just getting back to the blog.  I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus.  Please accept my apologies :o

 

Some who know me personally know that I have been extremely busy lately.

I really loved this book and throughout was cheering for Tia, or was it Tita?  I really did not like her mother.  Again, the writing was top notch—what a different style.  It’s not every book that truly feels like ‘literature,’ so kudos to the author.  Everyone may not appreciate this book, but bookworms and romantics are sure to love this offering.  I’m not a lover of romance novels, but this is close, I guess. 

Oh, and if you like to cook, or if you just like food, the book caters to that interest as well.  Each chapter is linked to a recipe/Tia’s love for food.  I’m sure there was some type of symbolic tie-in with the recipes and what was going on in Tia’s life, but I was trying to get through the book and didn’t really have time to stop and analyze everything.  I know it made me hungry.

I’m looking for the movie now.  I don’t want to buy it, so I’m hoping I can borrow it from the library.  I hope it’s in English.  Don’t feel like reading the lines, if you know what I mean.
