Love in the Time of Cholera

Cover image for Love in the Time of CholeraLove in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 348 pages

Florentino Ariza has always been in love with Fermina Daza, but she marries a rich doctor, instead.  Over the course of 50 years, or so, they both live separate lives, but never leave the consciousness of the other.  There are many characters and many side-stories, but the ultimate tale is that of a love that grows and matures over that time into something different, but just as rich, and the ending is the reward for keeping all of the characters straight.
