Like Water for Chocolate

by
Genre: Magical Realism
The story of this Mexican family is set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution (1910-17). It has 12 chapters and 12 recipes. Each chapter is for a month starting with January and going in order to December and each month features a traditional Mexican recipe. The story is told through the women of the De La Garza family. The men in the book have only minor roles. The main relationship is between Tita (daughter) and her mother Mama Elena. Perhaps this relationship is a picture of the relationship of Mexico's people and their struggle for freedom.
