What a wonderful little gem - particularly for Spanish speakers/readers. This book is brimming with GGM's best: a colourful and deep understanding of the *Colonised-Latin-America vibes*, historically rich world building and sincere yet completely unreal characters, (crazy forms of) love, pain, magic and hate... all while just writing an overall incredibly creative and fun (to read!) story.

Garcia-Marquez is able to make the grotesque parts of being human sound so beautiful.

There were times I had to do a double-take because the prose was so incredibly descriptive, yet the situation a bit disgusting

. This is my second book of his and he has become one of my favorite authors!
