Like Water for Chocolate
Laura Esquivel · 1989
A magical realist love story in which food literally carries emotion. Tita's longing and grief flavor every dish she prepares, and her family and guests absorb her feelings through eating. A unique, achingly beautiful meditation on how women's love is transmitted through the domestic when every other channel is closed.
