Overview
Con una voz conmovedora y, al mismo tiempo, poderosa, la autora logró reunir los ingredientes precisos que han conquistado a distintas generaciones en todo el mundo.
Laura Esquivel conquistó al mundo literario hace veinticinco años a través de esta alegoría que vincula con arte los sentimientos y la gastronomía.
Bestseller internacional, cuya adaptación al cine es considerada una de las diez películas extranjeras más taquilleras en Estados Unidos.
La novela narra la historia de Tita de la Garza a manera de recetario, donde cada capítulo es una receta que relata las aventuras de la protagonista en una casa donde la tradición la obliga a quedarse a cuidar a su madre, y por lo tanto, sin poderse casar nunca.
Tita, excelente cocinera, expresa su enojo y rebeldía a través de sus recetas, creando situaciones extraordinarias que involucrarán también a los demás miembros de su familia. Al final, todos estos acontecimientos provocarán que se enciendan "todos los cerillos que llevamos en nuestro interior de un solo golpe".
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Thirty years after the publication of the best-seller Like Water for Chocolate comes Tita's Diary, an intimate look at the life of the main character who embodies love, passion and the communication of emotions through food in early 20th Century Mexico.
When Tita falls in love with Pedro, she is told that being the youngest of three sisters, she will never be allowed to marry as she will have to care for her mother. As the second part of a trilogy, Tita's Diary brings to light a secret that will allow readers to rediscover their own intimacy as they turn page after page of never-before-seen photos, hand-pressed flower arrangements, and recipes that were skipped in the original novel.
It's the physical manifestation of Tita's dream: to share her thoughts on love, food and alchemy with the world.
This touching tale will plunge readers deep into the universe of Like Water for Chocolate, the captivating story that has known no borders.
