One of my favorite reads of 2025

A story about love, patience, and time.
It's slow, bittersweet, and so real.
It shows the real side of life over fifty years, with the good and the bad. I really felt it, I sympathized with them and their choices.
Florentino, waiting over fifty years, is a symbol of true love, but in the end, none of the waiting, suffering, or time matters, only the love, and the time they have left to share.
.........................
داستانی آرام و پر احساس درباره عشق، صبر و گذر زمان
به شدت پیشنهاد میشه

It was an interesting take on the usual love story. And what I think put it over the edge for me in comparison to other novels that are centered on a singular love story is that the middle was actually enjoyable. And I don't mean to say that I don't like other novels with love stories or that the other ones are bad. But I sort of expected the classic story: boy-meets-girl, long interlude of sometime unnecessary problems, boy-gets-girl. And the take on the story and the compelling protagonist kept me entertained the whole way.
