From the very first sentence, this book grabs you—Santiago is doomed, and there’s no escaping it.
Gabriel García Márquez masterfully weaves a story where fate feels both inevitable and painfully avoidable. Even though you know what’s coming, you can’t help but hope—hope that someone speaks up, that something changes, that he is saved. But in the end, it all leads to the same tragic conclusion. It was all for nothing.
A gripping, haunting, and thought-provoking read. This book is an absolute must.
