Brianna Summary: Although Pedro is angry and jealous of Tita marrying John he still loves her. Rosaura becomes sick later on and isn’t able to get around the house like normal. Since Rosaura was sick and had to stay in her room Tita and Pedro began to have an affair. Tita knew that she couldn’t marry John while still having feeling for Pedro. John finally came back to the ranch and brought back his aunt so that Tita could marry him. As they were eating dinner with his aunt, Tita confesses that she had relations with Pedro while he was gone. But John doesn’t care he still loves Tita and wants to be with her and says that he still wants to go on with their wedding. A year before the wedding Rosaura had died of digestive problems. While Tita and John were having their wedding Pedro asked Tita for a dance. While they were dancing Pedro told Tita that he still loved her even after all those years. Tita then realized that she was making a mistake marrying John because she actually loved Pedro. Pedro and Tita went back to the ranch to finally be together. As they were making love when Pedro reached his climax he saw a light at the end of a tunnel, then died. Tita then go out of bed with Pedro and started to eat the candles they had lit. When she ate them she began to see a light at a tunnel too and Pedro was there. Tita then died and joined Pedro to be together forever. The house then burned down but the cookbook Tita had used all her life was fine. Esperanza took the book and used it then she gave it to her own daughter.
Helberth Critique: I somewhat liked the end of the book. I thought it was kinda odd how it finished and it was not my favorite ending either. I do not like how Pedro dies, it was stupid because they were finally free to have a relationship out of hiding, and he just died because he was having sex. There is not much point on writing a whole book about love to kill the main character at the end. At the end they're supposed to get their way and stay like that. They perhaps enjoy an hour of freedom before Pedro died.
I understand why TIta killed herself. She only had one reason to live and that was that fire inside of her. When she saw that what triggered her fire was gone, she realized that she had no point in life. It would have been nice if they would have had some kids of their own. That way their kids could carry the history not your niece/stepdaughter. Over all if I had to rate this book I would give it a seven. It was interesting throughout the whole book but at the end they just ruin the book. I would have liked for the book to have more drama. It had some but it would have been nice if they would have focus on the love triangle more. Also on been more detail with Pedro’s and Tita’s relationship. All it says was that they would sneak around but it didn’t say much more.
Montana How Do You Relate: I think I can relate to Tita’s family relationships. My mom and I fight a lot like Tita and Mama Elena did and I don’t get along too well with my brother like Tita and Rosaura didn’t. Even though my mom isn’t like Mama Elena in the fact that I can’t marry because I’m the youngest daughter we still get into fights and I defy her like Tita did with Mama Elena. I remember there was one fight we had that I just shut myself in my room for days and hardly came out like Tita when focused on the pathetic baby pigeon. My brother and I don’t always get along either, we fight constantly and don’t really like each other. Even though we don’t have some of the problems Tita and Rosaura have like marrying your love, we mess around with each other and belittle each others relationships.
