Book Reviews of Love in the Time of Cholera (Oprah's Book Club)
Book Review: one of the best books I have ever read; a story about love and its forms.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had wanted to read this book for a long time, but when I finally checked it out of the library, I put off reading it. At the time I was reading a very long, 600+ page book, and I when I finally started reading Love in the time of Cholera, I was put off by its beginning, which to me seemed to have no point. However, I kept at it, and soon I was hooked.
The story occurs over a 50 year period, starting at the end and then going back to beginning to explain how things got there. In the late 1800's, in an unspecialized South American city, a boy and girl fall in love. However, their love is never consumated, and they barely speak, choosing instead to correspond with letters. Finally the girl chooses to marry a rich doctor- but the boy never gives up, waiting for the day Fermenia's husband will die. The author's style kept me going, as his writing style helped me imagine the story perfectly and beatifully. I loved this book!
Summary of Love in the Time of Cholera (Oprah's Book Club)
In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs--yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.Contemporary Books
