Book 37: Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

I brought this along on my trip to Mexico because I thought the location would amplify my enjoyment of both the book and the vacation (even if I wasn't really in the same region of Mexico as the book was set).

I loved the recipes, the language, the symbolism, and I'm a huge fan of magical realism. The love story would be questionable if this story were more realistic (John > Pedro), but for this dreamy, fairy-tale of a story it works.
