Es segunda vez que me leo este libro, la primera vez lo amé completamente, esta vez estaba más atenta a los detalles y hay algunas cosas que me hubiese gustado estuvieran más desarrolladas, creo que toda la secuencia final debería haber tomado más tiempo. Pero aun así lo amé. Creo que aunque la mitad del libro sea un poco lenta, el final hace que todo valga la pena. 
Y siempre me ha gustado la forma en que Laura Esquivel desarolla sus personajes, los detalles que describe y el elemento mágico que les rodea.

Very different to Like Water…it’s a fictionalised version of her parents story, so there is some magic and some great characterisation. But it is also very reflective and deeply personal to the author, so not so many universal take aways. Still a good read/interesting read!
