Love in the Time of Cholera-Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Love in the Time of Cholera (Vintage International)


Have been looking out for this book in the library for ages. Finally got my hands on it. Have read one of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s books, “100 Years of Solitude” coz the title caught my eye. Found his name rather familiar and googled it and realised he was the one who wrote Love in the Time of Cholera.The plot of 100 years of Solitude was kinda weird. Kudos to his imagination. The writing was great but probably not suited to my taste coz I skipped parts that were too descriptive. The same thing happened in Love in the Time of Cholera. But still, it held quite a romantic notion. A guy waiting from his youth to his near-death to be with the woman he had barely talked to. Honestly, too draggy and not much climaxes. Not for impatient readers!!
