Tuesday Book Group In-Person
The Tuesday Book Group reads a mix of fiction and non-fiction and meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 2 PM.
This month we're reading Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Márquez.
In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is heartbroken, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs—yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.
Garcia Márquez won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.
