Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez
4.0

This is a novella more than a novel; still very enjoyable both in its writing, and what it leaves out.

"The cocks of dawn would catch us trying to give order to the chain of many chance events that had made absurdity possible, and it was obvious that we weren’t doing it from an urge to clear up mysteries but because none of us could go on living without an exact knowledge of the place and the mission assigned to us by fate."
