Gabriel García Márquez é tão autêntico e único que eu poderia ler 100 livros cujos autores estivessem ocultados, e sempre encontraria as obras dele. (nem tão pouco que fosse pelo facto de nunca recorrer a advérbios de modo)

This is exactly what it seems, a “love story” between a twelve-year-old girl and a thirty-six-year-old, educated priest who abuses his power. WTF? He was clearly a gifted writer, which is why I gave this the benefit of the doubt, but I should have listened to my gut. I gave it one star, just in case this was a badly conceived and clumsy attempt at show don’t tell, because I felt all the disgust and rage, but the last paragraph (otherwise I would have DNF’d it) left me wanting to throw the book across the room.
