About this title

Review:

Marquez writes in this lyrical, magical language that no-one else can do (Salman Rushdie)

These stories abound with love affairs, ruined beauty, and magical women. It is essence of Marquez (Guardian)

'It becomes more and more fun to read. It shows what 'fabulous' really means' Time Out
