Love In The Time Of Cholera

‘IT WAS INEVITABLE: THE SCENT OF BITTER ALMONDS ALWAYS REMINDED HIM OF THE FATE OF UNREQUITED LOVE.’ Fifty-one years, nine months and four days have passed since Fermina Daza chose not the love of Florentino Ariza but, instead, that of the wealthy, modern Dr Juvenal Urbino. During that half-century, Florentino, a romantic through and through, has fallen into the arms of many but has loved none but Fermina. He has sworn his eternal love to her, and still lives in hope that fate might one day bring them together . . . One of the greatest romances ever written, Love in the Time of Cholera is a profound portrayal of the light, shade and enduring power of earthly passion.
