Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez
3.0

Beautiful descriptions but Florentino is an obsessive, paedophilic FREAK who did not deserve to be with Fermina Daza at the end of the book after she repeatedly stated she did not love him. The descriptions of rape are also very problematic and I did not feel they actually added anything to the story. The beauty in the description did not cast big enough shadows on Florentino’s abuse of power when it came to América.
