Day 22: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Chesed in Netzach, Loving-kindness in Endurance
The love story of Fermina Daza and Florentino Ariza spans their entire lives, surviving time and distance, other marriages and affairs, and loss. I love that this book shows the complications of young love, the ups and downs of Fermina's long marriage to Urbino, and Florentino's difficulty keeping a vow. If you've never read Gabriel Garcia Marquez, you definitely should. His characters are complex and human. I actually tried to read this one in high school and had some trouble following it, because the way he writes highlights how non-linear our lives can feel at times. But I'm so glad that I came back to it as an adult.
