The best novel I've ever read. I can feel the solitude of Buendía family with myself. Every words, every verses, every conversations I can feel. The masterpiece, the best. Amazing.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is a masterpiece of magical realism that tells the multi-generational saga of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo. Gabriel García Márquez weaves together myth, history, love, and tragedy in a narrative that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. The novel explores themes of solitude, power, memory, and destiny, creating a rich tapestry that reflects both the personal and the universal. It’s a timeless work that continues to captivate readers with its poetic language and profound storytelling.

5 stars mostly because the whole thing was very satisfying at the end, but lordy did I hate the process

complete opposite of ‘unputdownable’
glad I read it, proud of me, but will not be rereading
