Title: Forced Myself to Finish it
Review: Tita, the youngest of three daughters, is in love with Pedro and he with her. But she can't marry him because of family traditions which states that the youngest daughter is destinied to never marry and live to take care of her mother. Pedro then marries Tita's sister in the hopes of being, at least, near Tita.The novel spans several years, and there are 12 chapters, one for every month. The reader is introduced to a new recipe in each chapter and to the new events that happen in Tita's lives. Some border on fantasy while others take an almost satirical view, a parody even.Maybe I had high expectations, or maybe the translation didn't do the book justice, I don't know, but I found this book utterly boring. There were a few 'moments' that were interesting, but for the most part, this was a dull read.
