Media Reviews
This shining and heartbreaking novel may be one of the greatest love stories ever told. -- The New York Times Book Review
A love story of astonishing power.... Altogether extraordinary. -- Newsweek
Brilliant, provocative...magical...splendid writing. -- Chicago Tribune
Beguiling, masterly storytelling.... Garcia Marquez writes about love as saving grace, the force that makes life worthwhile. -- Newsday
A sumptuous book...[with] major themes of love, death, the torments of memory, the inexorability of old age. -- The Washington Post Book World
A rich, commodious novel whose narrative power is matched only by its generosity of vision. -- The New York Times
A love story of astonishing power and delicious comedy . . . humane, richly comic, almost unbearably touching and altogether extraordinary. -- Newsweek
The greatest luxury, as in all of Garcia Marquez's books, is the eerie, entirely convincing suspension of the laws of reality . . . the agelessness of the human story as told by one of this century's most evocative writers. --Anne Tyler, Chicago Sun-Times Book Week
Revolutionary in daring to suggest that vows of love made under a presumption of immortality--youthful idiocy, to some--may yet be honored, much later in life when we ought to know better, in the face of the undeniable. . . . A shining and heartbreaking book. --Thomas Pynchon, The New York Times Book Review
