Un muy buen libro se puede decir que es como la contraparte de 'Amor en tiempos de cólera', un amor controversial e inmoral para muchas personas, como dicen un amor loco u obsesión que parte de la locura o genera locura.
El amor puede ser un gran demonio, mas cuando se ama a quién no se debe amar.

“Le dijo que el amor era un sentimiento contra natura, que condenaba a dos desconocidos a una dependencia mezquina e insalubre, tanto más efímera cuanto más intensa.”

“No hay medicina que no cure lo que no cura la felicidad.”

C'était fine... une lecture super riche, mais simultanément pas du tout. Il manquait un certain quelque chose pour moi, surtout après avoir lu cent ans de solitude. Bref, la religion et les femmes c'est pas gagnant.

To me, this had some echoes of what I love about 100 Years of Solitude, but without the length and depth to weave everything together in a powerful way. Not bad, but not one I expect to reread.
