THE EXTRAORDINARY LOST NOVEL FROM THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA AND ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE

Sitting alone, overlooking the still and blue lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach surveys the men of the hotel bar. She is happily married and has no reason to escape the world she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.

Amid sultry days and tropical downpours, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire, and the fear that sits quietly at her heart.

Constantly surprising and wonderfully sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, and the mysteries of love, from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.

If you are a Marquez fan go for it without a question. It’s a good closure to this work we all have been reading all these years. One last farewell story with a true heart at its core

Gabo’s last work of Fiction

Maybe 4.5/5
Good read with a signature Marquez style, but leaves you wishing for the whole book. Though I liked this short work, I think it would have been okay to respect Gabo's wish and not published the book, and now that it has been, I couldn't miss it for anything. The main narration is a bit staccato.

Not a masterpiece but a good read all the same
