INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER "A love story of astonishing power" (Newsweek), the acclaimed modern literary classic by the beloved Nobel Prize-winning author.

In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs--yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.

Love in the Time of Cholera was a really interesting read, but I think it might be a bit too grown-up for me. The story follows Florentino and Fermina over many years, and while I loved the idea of a lifelong love, some parts felt a bit slow. I think I'll appreciate it more when I'm older. The writing was beautiful, though, and I loved how the author described the setting. If you enjoy classic love stories and don't mind a slower pace, you might like it.

Very creative. This author shows us that life is hard. It's a journey with a very zigzaggy road.
