A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes: A Son's Memoir of Gabriel García Márquez and Mercedes Barcha by Rodrigo García

4.0

I heard Garcia years ago on Fresh Air and it's an interview that stuck with me. His childhood sounded idyllic and his parents wonderful and when I heard about this book I knew I would read it. It did not disappoint. It's a lovely remembrance of his famous and not famous parents and the oddness of a loss so personal being so public. I read it in a couple of hours and am sorry it's done. Definitely recommend it.
