ABOUT THE BOOK
A bestseller in Mexico and around the world, Like Water for Chocolate is a romantic, poignant tale, touched with moments of magic, earthy humour and bittersweet wit – and recipes, one for each month of the year.
Tita, the youngest daughter of the all-female De la Garza family, is forbidden to marry: tradition demands that she look after her mother until she dies. But Tita falls in love with Pedro, and he is seduced by the magical food she cooks. In desperation, Pedro marries her sister Rosaura so that he can stay close to her. For the next twenty-two years, Tita and Pedro are forced to circle each other in unconsummated passion, until a strange chain of tragedies, bad luck and fate finally brings them together against all the odds.
