Rate this book
Como agua para chocolate, una de las novelas más entrañables de todos los tiempos, cambió la historia de la literatura mexicana. Mi negro pasado continúa con esta historia.

Mi negro pasado, continuación de Como agua para chocolate, es una defensa de la independencia femenina, y la mejor receta contra los males de nuestros dí el desarraigo, la obesidad y el consumismo vacío. María, adicta a la comida, sufre el injusto fin de su matrimonio, en mitad de una avalancha de reproches racistas y machistas. Deshecha, recibe de manos de Lucía, su abuela por mucho tiempo ausente, el diario de Tita. Al adentrarse en él, descubrirá insospechados secretos familiares, la capacidad del espíritu humano para volar alto gracias a la alquimia que transforma los ingredientes naturales en alimento y un sentido de pertenencia jamás experimentado.

La voz de María, de la misma estirpe guerrera que las mujeres De la Garza, continuará tejiendo la saga familiar. La protagonista deberá sortear los baches filiales, al tiempo que gana confianza en sí misma. Este proceso la llevará a crear una conexión inquebrantable con Tita y todos sus ancestros, y logrará así la reconciliación de cuerpo y mente. Un renacer a la vida. Pero el verdadero dilema será cuando María experimente otra vez el más profundo de los el amor.

Mi negro pasado es una novela que no dejará indiferente a nadie, la épica de varias generaciones de mujeres libres y apasionadas que nos enseñan a vencer las adversidades.
