<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set in a country on the Caribbean coast of South America, this is a story about a woman and two men and their entwined lives. From the author of the legendary One Hundred Years of Solitude.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the Nobel Prize-winning author of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" comes a masterly evocation of an unrequited passion so strong that it binds three people's lives together for more than fifty years. In the story of Florentino Ariza, who waits more than half a century to declare his undying love to the beautiful Fermina Daza, whom he lost to Dr. Juvenal Urbino so many years before, Garcia Marquez has created a vividly absorbing fictional world, as lush and dazzling as a dream and as real and immediate as our own deepest longings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A rich, commodious novel whose narrative power is matched only by its generosity of vision." --<i>The New York Times</i>"A love story of astonishing power and delicious comedy . . . humane, richly comic, almost unbearably touching and altogether extraordinary." --<i>Newsweek</i>"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, <i>Chicago Sun-Times Book Week</i>"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, <i>The New York Times Book Review </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>García Márquez was born in Aracataca, Colombia, in 1928.
