Waiting for true love
“This is a beautifully written book. Very romantic story of two people that fall in love when they are very young and they finally come together when they are very old. The book is filled with a lot of characters and history that are precisely described. The main character, Florentino Ariza show of devotion and love for Fermina Daza can last forever without ever beginning. The books goes through all of Florentino's life, how he struggled to make a name for him self, his casual loves and how he never gave up on his true love. This has become one of my favorite books.”

Magical and charming
“This is one of my favorites by Garcia Marquez and has his magical surreal style. It is a love story in which the main characters meet in their youth, and finally come together when they are old. Set in the steamship era in the city of Cartagena, Colombia, probably just before antibiotics were available to treat colera.”
