«Como agua para chocolate» is the magic realism novel by Laura Esquivel, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Tita, a young Mexican woman of the early 20th century who grows up in the kitchen and learns that ingredients are not enough: all the love put into cooking is transmitted to those who taste her dishes. Her emotions —sadness, joy, desire, or pain— permeate every recipe, in an allegory that links feelings with the culinary within the tradition of magic realism.
First novel by Laura Esquivel, originally published in 1989 and translated into 36 languages. This edition belongs to the Formato Grande collection.
Recommended for readers of romantic fiction, contemporary fiction, and family sagas, as well as for those who enjoy stories with gastronomy as a guiding thread.
