When her husband dies, Florentino attends the funeral intending to declare his love again, fifty years, nine months, and four days after first doing so.

Praise for “Love in the Time of Cholera”

“A love story of astonishing power and delicious comedy . . . humane, richly comic, almost unbearably touching and altogether extraordinary.”

— Newsweek

“A rich, commodious novel whose narrative power is matched only by its generosity of vision.”

— The New York Times

“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
