The book I’m reading is Love in the Time of Cholera, by Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It takes place on an unnamed island in the Caribbean. My daughter told me about reading one of his books multiple times, which made me curious to check him out. She read One Hundred Years of Solitude. I’ll definitely read that one too. His writing is magical.
