Como agua para chocolate, una de las novelas más entrañables de todos los tiempos, cambió 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 días: 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 sentimientos: 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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Like Water for Chocolate, one of the most beloved novels of all time, changed Mexican literature. My Dark Past continues this story. My Dark Past, a continuation of Like Water for Chocolate, is a defense of women’s independence, and the best recipe against the evils of this world: alienation, obesity, and empty consumerism.

María, addicted to food, suffers the wrongful end of her marriage in the middle of a racist, sexist rant. Undone, she receives Tita’s diary from Lucía, her long-lost grandmother. Upon immersing herself in it, she discovers unexpected family secrets, the capacity of the human spirit to fly high thanks to the alchemy that converts natural ingredients into food, and a sense of belonging that she has never felt before. The voice of María, from the same warrior lineage as the De Garza women, continues the family saga.

The protagonist must negotiate a bumpy road while gaining confidence in herself. This process will lead her to create an unbreakable connection with Tita and all her ancestors, and thus achieve a reconciliation for mind and body. A rebirth. But the true dilemma comes when María once again experiences the deepest of feelings: love.

My Dark Past is a novel that will leave no one indifferent, the epic of several generations of free, passionate women who teach us to overcome all adversity.
