Abstract: In this thesis I have addressed several points of interest regarding the translation I conducted of chapters 3 and 4 of ‘Como agua para chocolate’ by Laura Esquivel. These points include: my reasoning for wanting to complete a literary translation; a synopsis of the chosen work and my translation methodology; a literature review of key sources; a description of my relationship with the client; a reflection on the translation process; a reflection of particular translation difficulties found when translating and solutions deployed to remedy these problems and a comparison between the original budget drawn up, actual time taken, performance and whether this particular type of translation was financially viable.
