Publisher: Penguin, 1989

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, Garc�a M�rquez has created a vividly absorbing fictional world, as lush and dazzling as a dream and as real and immediate as our own deepest longings. Now available for the first time in the Contemporary Classics series!

Review:

One of this century's most evocative writers (Anne Tyler)

A delight. The interlocking of the stories, the fantastical and obsessional aspects of M�rquez have never been better shown. (Melvyn Bragg)
