Love in Time of Cholera


The story speaks of a "faithful and loyal" Florentino Ariza who spent the rest of his life trying to gain the attention of his one and only beloved Fermina Daza even though she kinda dumped and rejected him again and again. Despite that, the story not only evolves around a love-hate routine of drama. It has some heart wrenching and alot of lustful and obscene moments, definitely not for those below the age of 15.

Seriously, would a guy wait for the girl he love for 53 years, 7 months, 11 days and nights? I know it's a book, but can such act be defined as an everlasting love? I'm pretty sure this is every girl's dream come true.

Wait, not only that how there be a book without a movie after it. YES there is a movie about it as well..

Anyways, the climax of the story starts pretty late so don't expect it to be interesting at first. A book worth to read for those who love romance novel.

p/s: The book is by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
