«Como agua para chocolate» is the magic realism novel by Laura Esquivel, published by Mondadori in paperback (173 pages, in Spanish).
The work narrates the life of Tita, the youngest daughter of the De la Garza family, whom family tradition condemns to care for her mother and renounce marriage. To stay close to her, Pedro marries her sister Rosaura, while Tita channels her emotions through cooking: her recipes unleash surprising effects on those who taste them. Love, desire, and recipes intertwine in this story with elements of magic realism set in Mexico and structured as a serial novel.
The novel opens the series «Como agua para chocolate» by Mexican author Laura Esquivel (1950), originally published in 1989. This edition is number 13 of the Narrativa collection from Mondadori.
For readers interested in contemporary Spanish-language fiction, magic realism, and stories combining gastronomy, romance, and family tradition.
Laura Beatriz Esquivel Valdés is a Mexican novelist, screenwriter and former politician. Her first novel Como agua para chocolate became a bestseller in Mexico and the United States, and was later developed into an award-winning film.
