Blurb (from back cover): "In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs-yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty-one years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again."
Opinion: Well, I didn't stop reading this book as I did one of this author's other books. This was also one of Oprah's bookclub books. I didn't think it was all that. I probably will not read another one of this author's books.
