have read: like water for chocolate

ito ay isa na namang magic realism novel. as usual weirdo. weirdo. the first thing that comes to my mind is in the end, yung quilt na ginagawa ni tita, inenvelop niya sa ranch na nasunog because she ahd sex with pedro na love of her life. at bakit nasunog, kasi sa sobrang intense ng emotions nila, naglight yung ga matchsticks at nasunog si tita. whoaaaa. anyway, ito ay istorya na naman ng sawing pag-ibig. like tita is soo in love with pedro, but mama elena, the monster mom in this story, ayaw payagan ang love story nila kasi tita is not supposed to marry dahil youngest kid. sino daw ang mag-aalaga sa kanya. wow. so anyway, thats the story, yun kanilang mga unanswered passions and longing and the tragic love. hay naku. pero dahil magic realism ito, winner na naman ang mga pangyayari. like may sister na dahil sa niluto ni tita, went all over the ranch naked and eloped with this guy. and then nung niluto ni tita yung cake nina rosaura, buong town nagkasakit at umiyak ng sobra sobra dahil nasama sa cake ang lahat ng pain ni tita. yun at kung ano-ano pa.
