Love in the time of cholera - Gabriel Garca Mrquez

Fifty-one years, nine months and four days ago, Florentino's love was rejected by beautiful Fermina. While she became a model wife, poor Florentio pined for her and has done ever since, never finding love or peace as he yearns for the day he can woo her again. When Fermina's husband is killed falling from a mango tree, Florentino seizes his chance to declare his enduring love. But can young love find new life in the twilight of their lives?

This edition ties in to Mike Newell's long-awaited film of Love in the Time of Cholera, starring Benjamin Bratt (Traffic), which is due for release in January 2008.
