The next 50 pages really ups the intensity. The book becomes much more romantic and confusing, and you are rooting for lovers. So Tita has a lover named Pedro and they are madly in love, and then out of nowhere to me he goes and
marries her sister. Reading this I was like "What the Heck man?!?!" And he marries her even though him and Tita are in love. Pedro gives Tita flowers and she doesnt throw them away because they are so beautiful. She makes a dish of rose peddals.
Next to add to the chaos Titas sister runs away with a soldier from
the war, and he took her away while she was naked! It sounds just as odd to me as it does to you.
Even though this book is random and odd at parts i find it very interesting. The distinct connection between the
sexuality and food is very strong. They make many different references to chocolate and she makes a rose peddal dish. All of it is tying a certain theme to the book together.
So Pedro & Tita are in love... but he marries her sister, just to have her run away with a soldier.. I would be so mad if I was Tita. How dare he tease her with flowers. Sounds like a pretty interesting book you've got there haha
ReplyDeleteThis book is seriously crazy. I can't wait to talk about it with you and Lexie tomorrow in class! Lyndsie, Tita has two other sisters, her oldest sister married Pedro, the youngest ran off naked with the soldier...
