This book is a wonderful exploration of memory through the eyes of each character. I consider it a staple of the magical realism genre.

One of the most unique books I’ve ever read. The fragmented account of the town’s memories feels so raw and real. Other than being a piece of 1960s Colombian culture, it establishes a perplexing, non-linear story. It’s just a fascinating read. It’s going to stick with me for a while.

What a curious little novella! Reads like a lucid dream. A Nearly perfect book- I just wish I would have been able to read it in one sitting.
