Like Water for Chocolate- A-



Great book. Just finished reading this as part of my "self-prep" for my Mexico City trip, to get a flavor of Mexico. The short novel is broken up into monthly installments, each beginning with a recipe that is tied in to the story of Tita, the narrator's grandaunt. A classic love story with some unexpected fantasy thrown in. The book's unusual format and exaggerated storylines are hilarious and insightful, making for a unique and enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
