Welcome to Litsy!

First read of 2024 is in the books ?

This was no *Like Water For Chocolate* that's for sure. But the story of Júbilo and Lucha and their daughter Lluvia was sweet. The bits of history of the telegraph were interesting. However, the extraneous, not quite, mystical elements were nothing but distracting.

Starting this one that's been on my #TBR shelf since last century 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

Not as magical as Like Water for Chocolate but still a good story. Esquivel's writing can be musically lyrical at times, but at other times she over explains.

#NuYear #desire All the books from my stacks with 'desire' in the title. A mix of non-fiction, food writing & fiction--I've read all five of these books. 🌹📚

This is the 3rd book I‘ve read by Laura Esquivel and I can‘t recommend her books enough. She has a way of giving ordinary things magical qualities. She also gives you insight in other cultures and their history. This story is about love, family ,trust and how communication is vital to balance and harmony. I loved how she gave you both sides in Jubilo and Lucha relationships to see were things got lost in translation between the two.

Running to get lunch for the team equals free time to read while I wait for order 😊

Love this cover! Can't wait to read it 😊
