Why read it?
2 authors picked Until August as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
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.
