Summary
The Unwavering Heart: A Love Story for the Ages
Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera is a brilliantly crafted and beautifully written story of love and lovesickness. Spurned as a young man, Florentino Ariza has a half-century of waiting before he can redeclare his love for Fermina Daza, when her husband is killed retrieving a parrot from a mango tree. Funny, poignant, and heartfelt, enduring and unrequited love have rarely been more movingly expressed.
