Title: Like Water for Chocolate meets Richd. Condon's Money is Love
Product review: A great book, if a little bumpy in places.Water/Chocolate looked at the fantasy of the effect of the cook's mindset on the effect that food has on the eaters. Money is Love explores what happens when the entire set of gods--Judeo/Christian, Greeks, Romans, and the baddies, Lucifer, Beelzebub and that bunch--meet to figure out what the big deal is about Money. Everyone on earth seems to be going bananas to get it, they do strange things with it when they do get it, etc.In Money/Love, N'zuriel ("Little Yaweh") leads the convention to figure it all out. In Law of Love, we find that 14000 reincarnations determine peoples' suitabilties for governing, loving, hating. Hard to believe that Esquivel hasn't read and admired Condon.But the work isn't derivative: it's wonderfully original and refreshing. And it's almost as funny as Condon's, a very big plus!
