What a wonderful little gem - particularly for Spanish speakers/readers. This book is brimming with GGM's best: a colourful and deep understanding of the *Colonised-Latin-America vibes*, historically rich world building and sincere yet completely unreal characters, (crazy forms of) love, pain, magic and hate... all while just writing an overall incredibly creative and fun (to read!) story.

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)
