Until August By Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The master of magic realism’s slim and inventive last novel is a tale of forbidden love in later life . . . Inventively enjoyable and working to its surprising, pleasing ending. I read it straight through in one sitting, then got up the next day and did it again
The Times

A novel both sexy and disturbing. The novel’s chief concern is love, or more specifically sex – a subject Marquez always accorded the diligent, amused and unashamed attention it deserves. The lasting impression of Until August is one of deep feeling, astutely observed and beautifully conveyed
The Telegraph

Sunny, sultry, even tipsy, but with a genuine sting
Guardian

Though exceptional, fully developed female characters abound in Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez’s work, only in his last novel, Until August, is a woman the uncontested protagonist on her own journey of self-discovery. A remarkable book
