Written in García Marquez's distinctive style, this non-fiction books reads with all the tension and drama of a novel, the characters' lives simultaneously running in parallel and being intertwined in ways impossible to perceive from their individual vantage points. Teetering on the edge between history and fable, it teaches you as much as it makes you feel.
