This was my introduction to Marquez, read it when I was about 16 or 17. I bought this as a First Edition Hardback simply based on my English teacher dropping the name of the author in our class once. But I have never been happier with a purchase. Not his greatest work, but one of beauty and tragedy nonetheless. I love the descriptions of the decadence of Colonial South America, and the inner purity of the two lead characters juxtaposed against their physical failings and the horror of the convent. Nothing tops Marquez for me.
