If you like mystical realism this might be a book you’d want to check out

Like Water for Chocolate takes place during the Mexican revolution, and is the story of the De La Garza family. Their story is told through recipes and home remedies, and the book is broken out into twelve chapters; each chapter is one month of the year. However, the story takes place over a twenty-year period. I liked some of the themes in the book: finding a sense of purpose in one’s life, the things we give importance to that maybe aren’t so important, and what love really is. If you like mystical realism this might be a book you’d want to check out.
