Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Reviews:

This shining and heartbreaking novel may be one of the greatest love stories ever told. --The New York Times Book Review

A love story of astonishing power. Altogether extraordinary. --Newsweek

Brilliant, provocative, magical, splendid writing. --Chicago Tribune

Beguiling, masterly storytelling. García Márquez writes about love as saving grace, the force that makes life worthwhile. --Newsday

A sumptuous book with major themes of love, death, the torments of memory, the inexorability of old age. --The Washington Post Book World

"A rich, commodious novel whose narrative power is matched only by its generosity of vision." --The New York Times

"A love story of astonishing power and delicious comedy . . . humane, richly comic, almost unbearably touching and altogether extraordinary." --Newsweek

"The greatest luxury, as in all of García Márquez?s books, is the eerie, entirely convincing suspension of the laws of reality . . . the agelessness of the human story as told by one of this century's most evocative writers." --Anne Tyler, Chicago Sun-Times Book Week

"Revolutionary in daring to suggest that vows of love made under a presumption of immortality youthful idiocy, to some may yet be honored, much later in life when we ought to know better, in the face of the undeniable. . . . . a shining and heartbreaking book." --Thomas Pynchon, The New York Times
