If a story was to be written it would be in it's romanticized portions like this.... Except
In MY life there is no Pedro, only a "John Vickroy," i don't know a Dr B.... only one fabricated by others for Becky of Sunny Brook Farm my E-ville crazy cyborg twin, then placed in MY life as {her} Blanket'......
Upon learning the news of her nephew's death, whom she cared for herself, Tita blames her mother. Mama Elena responds by smacking Tita across the face with a wooden spoon. Tita, unwilling to cope with her mother's controlling ways, secludes herself in the dovecote until the sympathetic Dr. John Brown reasons with her and convinces her to come down. Mama Elena clearly states that there is no place for "lunatics" like Tita on the farm, and wants her to be institutionalized. However, the doctor decides to take care of Tita at his home instead. Tita develops a close relationship with Dr. Brown, even planning to marry him at one point, but her feelings for Pedro do not waver.
.... and in MY life, there is no ranch..only a house.. as I AM THE ONE USED ---- this is in Becky's mail-ordered-good-will-fabricated life -----
Over the course of years, Rosaura and Mama Elena die. With the removal of all obstacles to their relationship Tita and Pedro finally share a night of bliss that is so heated and passionate that Pedro dies while making love to Tita. Upset at being left alone in the world, Tita proceeds to consume kitchen matches and candles whilst thinking of Pedro’s face. The matches are sparked by the heat of his memory, creating a fire that engulfs them both, leading to their deaths in union and the total destruction of the ranch.
The narrator of the story is the daughter of Esperanza, Pedro's daughter. Dr. Brown's son Alex marries Esperanza near the conclusion of the story. The narrator then says that all that was found under the smoldering rubble of the ranch was Tita's cookbook, which contained all the recipes described in the preceding chapters.[3]
..... Yet I continue to be blamed, and suffer, and am forced to pay for it all.

P.S.
The novel follows the story of a young girl named Tita who longs her entire life to marry her lover, Pedro, but can never have him because of her mother's upholding of the family tradition of the youngest daughter not marrying but taking care of her mother until the day she dies. Tita is only able to express herself when she cooks.
Esquivel employs magical realism to combine the supernatural with the ordinary.
