Laura Esquivel on "Like Water for Chocolate," destiny and the thoughts of inanimate objects By JOAN SMITH high r omance, spiced with a few traditional Mexican recipes, was the ingredient that made Laura Esquivel's first novel, "Like Water for Chocolate," an international phenomenon when it was simultaneously released as both a book and a movie in the U.S. in 1993. Her second novel might well be destined for a similar popularity. Part New Age bodice ripper, part picture-book for adults, "The Law of Love," is a plot-driven novel designed to allow the reader short breaks between chapters to look at illustrations by Miguelanxo Prado and listen to Mexican love songs and popular opera arias, all incorporated by Esquivel into the plot. The music is provided on a CD tucked into the back of the book. If the package sounds gimmicky, it is, and serious readers are likely to find the novel, with its comic-book characters and musical interludes, more irritating than engaging. But Esquivel is both a former schoolteacher and a screenwriter, and her mission is to teach and to entertain. This novel, like its predecessor, was clearly intended for the movies. Robert Redford has already expressed an interest in filming the story, with its inventive plot and wonderful visual possibilities. And if "The Law of Love" is not much in the way of a literary work, it has a definite appeal rooted in Esquivel's gift for inventing new ways of telling the story of thwarted romantic love, and in her deep and earnest belief in certain dicta of the New Age.

Support this site! I truly love to read. When I find a good book, I want to share it with my friends. It may have taken a few years, but I finally discovered (or was given) Like Water for Chocolate . I enjoyed the story so much, that I want to share it with you. The story takes place on a ranch on the Texas/Mexico border in the late nineteenth century. Mama Elena is the widowed matriarch of the family. She has three daughters named Rosaura, Gertrudis, and Tita. The story revolves around Tita, who as the youngest daughter, is sentenced to a life of service for her mother. Tita will never be able to marry or have children as she is bound to her mother's every wish and whim until the day Mama Elena dies. What makes fifteen year-old Tita's situation more tragic is that she is deeply in love with a young man named Pedro. When Pedro comes to ask Mama Elena for permission to marry Tita, the matriarch says no. She offers Pedro seventeen year-old Rosaura instead. Pedro agrees to marry Rosaura, though only to be near Tita, his true love. Like Water for Chocolate is the story of forbidden love between Tita and Pedro. Mama Elena knows the score and makes sure Pedro and Tita are never alone anywhere on the ranch. Tita is forced to stay in the kitchen and prepare the family's meals.

skip to main skip to sidebar Latin American Affairs ...passionate about latin america... Friday, April 27, 2007 Malinche - novel by Laura Esquivel The book was a gift from the Mexican Ambassador Rogelio. This is the first book of the Mexican author Laura Esquivel, I have read. I found that she is the same author of the story" Like water for chocolate" which I have seen as a movie and liked it. Malinche is a historical novel about the Malinalli, the mistress and interpreter of Hernan Cortez, the Spanish conqueror of Mexico. Born to the native Mexican tribe, she ends up as a slave to Cortez the conquistador. She takes him for the reincarnation of her god Quetzalcoatl and serves him loyally.But she realises that Cortez is just a human, greedy for gold and conquest. Moctezuma, the Aztec emperor also mistakes Cortez for reincarnation of his god and hands over the throne to him. Cortez marries off Malinalli to his loyal deputy Jaramillo alter. She gets one a son from Cortez, said to be the first mestizio of Mexico. Laura has done deep research on Indian history and religion and has given an authentic Indian flavour to the book. She gives a vivid, objective and respectful account of the beliefs, customs and thought process of the native Indians. The book is full of Indian names of gods, people and cities such as Quetzalcoatl, Axayacatl, Tenochtitlan, Huitzilopochtli, Tetlepanquetzal,Tlazolteotl, Cuitlahuac,Cuauhtemoc and other such tongue twisters.
