Gabriel García Márquez’s influence and importance lie in bringing Latin-American fiction to wider audiences and has become a pioneer. He was born in Colombia and is a Nobel winner. He is known for telling fantastic tales of romance and heroism against an historic Latin American backdrop.

Set in an unnamed Caribbean seaport, a most remarkable story of unrequited love spanning half a century is told in both brilliance and heartbreak. Readers are moved by this true to heart classic which is told both in a spiritual and simplistic nature.

The Mexican, Caribbean and South American locations are detailed vividly and although told in a rather exotic nature, readers can still somehow relate and be drawn in as the author is aware that emotions are universal. As the characters develop, a wide scale of tempers and passion are discovered and even some humor is hidden among the pages.
