Will I love Until August?

This is known as 'the lost novel' of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which his family published after his death. Since the main character, who travels alone to a Caribbean island once a year to visit her mother's grave, is a woman who uses the trip to seduce a different man every year, some critics have labelled this, 'not his best work'. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it because it shows how love never obeys the rules, and how marriage does not vaccinate one from desiring others.

It is a joyous and profound exploration of freedom, regret, self-development and the mysteries of love.
