( ![]() Quite a few books are so widely read, adapted to screen, and culturally ubiquitous that I truly believe I've read them. When I eventually pick them up, it's surprising and delightful to find nothing familiar beyond a vague idea or character name. It's happened enough times that I like to page through older books to make sure before adding them to goodreads. Anyway that didn't happen here, I read this, but I have nothing to say about it. I didn't like it, it's all melodrama and abuse, isn't it. 8481302643 This story is Tita's, the third daughter of a Mexican family, destined for nothing beyond taking care of her abusive mother. Tita pours all her passion into the food she makes, unable to be with the man she loves. The best part of this book is the food. I wanted to eat everything described. The novel is an interesting mix of family dynamics, magical realism, and recipes. It reads a bit like a fairy tale but is grounded in a specific place and time. Some of the writing was awkward, and I put that down to the translation. The story is a bit thin, and I wanted more. The ending felt rushed. But, oh, the food! Easy to read but pretty dumb. Not my kinda book. The food sounded good though. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
