Books 'n' Bites - Like Water for Chocolate

5:00 pm – 6:30 pm
July 11, 2018

The selection for the month of July is...  Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

In a style that is epic in scope yet intensely personal in focus, Laura Esquivel's Like Water For Chocolate tells the story of Tita De La Garza, the youngest daughter in a family living in Mexico at the turn of the twentieth century. Through twelve chapters, each marked as a "monthly installment" and thus labeled with the months of the year, we learn of Tita's struggle to pursue true love and claim her independence. Each installment features a recipe to begin each chapter. The structure of Like Water For Chocolate is wholly dependent on these recipes, as the main episodes of each chapter generally involve the preparation or consumption of the dishes that these recipes yield. The details of additional secondary recipes are woven throughout the narrative.

While regaining her footing could not save her failing marriage, the mountains were the one anchor in her life that held.
