One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

namrata_jain's review against another edition

A very poignant read and beautiful characters. What a beautiful history of a family stuck in a cyclic history doomed to make the same mistakes time and again.
I was really reluctant to let the book end and that's a feeling I get for very few books.

La historia de los Buendía es tan aterradora como brillante. La dualidad de sentimientos que acompañan la lectura es la esencia de Macondo y de la familia Buendía. Hasta el final presenta este enfrentamiento, te hace sentir alivio por el fin de las atrocidades y a la vez lástima y culpa por un pueblo y una familia con tantas cicatrices que solo es una fotografía rota de lo que solía ser.

Hard to review as either 3 or 4 stars. It's difficult, but splendidly constructed. It's oppressively repetitive, despite the generous lashings of magic. I couldn't wait to finish it, but I also wanted to re-read it all over again.
