Books. Bitter as sugar. Sweet as tears.

The book Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel is a magical realist novel from Mexico that tells the story of the forbidden love between Tita and Pedro in the early 20th century.

.

Story line...Tita was the youngest daughter of a family whose tradition forbade her daughter to marry, to take care of her mother until her death, when the handsome young Pedro came to subpoena her, but had to marry Tita's sister to get close to her; the couple's love was transmitted through the food Tita cooked, which influenced the emotions and feelings of the diner.

.

When you finish reading, you can think of a mixture of reality and supernatural elements, and using cooking as a medium to convey emotions and feelings, you can know Mexican culture, reflecting traditions and conflicts in Mexican society.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ที่ได้อ่านหนังสือ "ขมเป็นน้ำตาล หวานเป็นน้ำตา" เล่มนี้ ผมรู้สึกประทับใจในความลึกซึ้งของเรื่องราวที่ถ่ายทอดผ่านอาหารหลากหลายเมนู ซึ่งไม่เพียงแต่เป็นสัญลักษณ์ของความรักและความรู้สึกเท่านั้น แต่ยังแสดงให้เห็นถึงประเพณีและความเข้มงวดในครอบครัวเม็กซิกันในยุคต้นศตวรรษที่ 20 ส่วนที่ชอบเป็นพิเศษ คือการที่ตัวละครติตาต้องเผชิญกับข้อจำกัดทางสังคม และใช้การปรุงอาหารเป็นช่องทางสื่อสารความรู้สึกที่ไม่สามารถพูดออกมาตรงๆ การได้ชมภาพของอาหารและบรรยากาศรอบตัวในเรื่องทำให้ผู้อ่านสัมผัสถึงความอบอุ่นและทุกข์ใจได้อย่างชัดเจน นอกจากนี้ หนังสือยังสะท้อนให้เห็นถึงพลังของอาหารที่สามารถเปลี่ยนแปลงอารมณ์ของคนรับประทานได้ ซึ่งถือเป็นแนวคิดที่น่าสนใจและทำให้ผู้อ่านได้มองอาหารในมุมมองใหม่ๆ ถ้าคุณชื่นชอบนิยายที่ผสมผสานความเป็นจริงกับความมหัศจรรย์ และอยากสัมผัสวัฒนธรรมเม็กซิกันผ่านเรื่องราวเลิฟสตอรี่แบบลึกซึ้ง หนังสือเล่มนี้เป็นตัวเลือกที่น่าลองมากครับ
