Until August
Melancholic and bitter sweet!

Not his best, but still good.
have to say I loved the novels of Marquez, but I don't think this is up to his usual standard. To me it is a bit rushed, still better than 80% of writers b... READ MORE

More than a completist’s piece, absorbing, in its way

Synopsis

Sitting alone, overlooking the still and blue lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach surveys the men of the hotel bar. She is happily married and has no reason to escape the world she has made with her husband and child. And yet, every August, she travels here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.

Amid sultry days and tropical downpours, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire, and the fear that sits quietly at her heart.

Constantly surprising and wonderfully sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, and the mysteries of love, from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.

Let down
I find it irksome when male authors write “from a woman’s perspective”. No matter how good a writer, that simply cannot be achieved.
