Love transcending time and somewhat also space. It... Sometimes it gave me an ick, but I understand the phenomenon. Was it utterly romantic? No. Was it a bit obnoxious and intrusive? Yes. Is this book a classic? Absolutely. But I don't know what to think.

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.
