Book 9: Like Water for Chocolate

I am starting 'Like Water for Chocolate' by Laura Esquirel today. This is the next book club pick for the Boone YMCA book club. Maggie has read this in both English and Spanish and says it's one of her favorite books. Basically all I know about it is that it is a Mexican love story and has recipes in it. Maggie is highly intrigued by the "magical realism" presented in the book. I look forward to reading it and discussing it with the book club in December.
