Love in the time of cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

This was a book suggested to me by one of my friends. He told me that it was quite different from the other books that I read. So thought why not read this one for a change?

Turns out that this is really a nice book. It was a romance novel of a different kind. We have three main characters in this book. Fermina Daza - the heroine :) , Florentino Ariza - the so-called hero and Dr. Juvenal Urbino - Fermina's husband also another hero. Ariza sees Daza and falls madly in love. She with time falls in love but her father is against it. Then the father sends her off to his hometown, but still the lovers persist. When she comes back, after meeting with Ariza after all these years, she decides that she is not in love with him.

Then comes our Dr. Urbino who meets Daza when she is ill to check her. Somehow as you go long in this story they get married.

In the end, Urbino dies and Ariza comes up to Daza again to propose. And after a lot of dilly-dallying and chit chatting , they go off on a cruise :)

I have really made the story very short while telling you about it. There is more to it than what I wrote out here. But the book is a lovely one and the author's style is simply superb.
