About the Book Like Water For Chocolate
Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel is set in early 20th-century Mexico, blending realism with a rich narrative. The story follows Tita De La Garza, the youngest daughter in her family, who is forbidden to marry due to a family tradition that requires her to care for her mother, Mama Elena, until her death.
Tita falls deeply in love with Pedro Muzquiz, but because of the family tradition, Pedro marries Tita’s sister, Rosaura, to stay close to Tita. Tita’s emotions are so intense that they infuse her cooking with magical effects, impacting everyone who eats her food. Throughout the novel, Tita struggles with her love for Pedro, her oppressive mother, and her desire for independence.
The narrative is structured around monthly installments, each beginning with a recipe that ties into the events of the chapter. The novel explores themes of love, familial obligations, and the magical ability of food to express emotions and unite people.
