Gabriel García Márquez - One Hundred Years of Solitude
The back of my copy contains a quote from the New York Times: “you emerge from this marvelous novel as if from a dream”, which for me sums the book up perfectly. The recurring themes, with characters carrying family traits through generations mean the dozens of characters you encounter are not overwhelming.
I know nothing of the history of Columbia, details of which are reportedly encoded within the story,but the book is enjoyable in it’s own right nonetheless.
