Love in the Time of Cholera

                                                      'Book Review'

 

'Love in the Time of Cholera' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.


"I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century, to repeat you once again my vow of eternal fidelity and everlasting love.'' - Florentino Ariza  (My favorite line)

My first book review , unintentionally and lovingly is of one of the greatest love story.A story of love which never ends and make you believe that if its true, it will find its way, now or later, but it will, definitely.

Written not with ink but love, 'Love in the time of cholera' is a story set in the epidemic of cholera and tells about the disease of love, irremediable and painful.

Picturesque and filled with bubbles of seduction and lovemaking, 'Love in the time of cholera' beautifully explores the various lovely relationships of Mother-Son, Husband-Wife, Man-Mistress, Lover-Goddess, all together knitted with magic called love.

This immense story is like a love song playing in the heart.

An inspiring book for all those who believe in love and suffered in it/still suffering like me, and for those who did not, I avow this book will spin your mind and make you believe that there is magic in this universe i.e. love.

Buy the book and fall in love.This book really brought love in my life.

''There is no greater glory than to die for love''- Florentino Ariza  (My favorite quote)

(Those who want to know the story in brief, I am condensing the story, pathetically though.)

(Hopelessly romantic, love-struck, lovesick Florentino Ariza is in love with beautiful, haughty, almond eyed Fermina Daza.Love is requited.Love-letters being written and the butterflies being felt in the heart.

Separated by the evil might of Fermina Daza's father who claims that Fermina's love is just an illusion.Thus leaving Florentino Ariza with just the braid of her's, forlorn, love hungry, loveless and dead.

Wealthy, educated, handsome, desirable Juvenal Urbino wins the heart of Lorenzo Daza(Fermina's father), culminated into the grand marriage of Juvenal Urbino and Fermina Daza, devastating the emotions of Florentino Ariza.

While Florentino Ariza kept falling in charms of hundreds of delightful women but loving none, Fermina, however unhappy, was busy in making love in Paris and delivering babies.

But when Juvenal Urbino got died accidentally, They fell in love once again, but the time of their life is nearly finished.)
