Drawing on ancient wisdom, she measures out remedies to cure heartache, banish bad luck and rescue the wretched from life's wrong turns.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's such a disappointment that the end result is a bland, feeble fable."
-
"Magic and realism just don't belong together here."
-
"Emphasizes the pleasures of scent, taste and touch to a remarkably tantalizing degree."
-
"Imagine Like Water for Chocolate without the passion."
