Love in the Time of Cholera
Love in the Time of Cholera: waiting fifty years doesn't make anyone a saint
García Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera: Florentino, Fermina, old age and obsession, with no easy idealizations. My honest review, 4.5 out of 5.

One Hundred Years of Solitude
One Hundred Years of Solitude: incest, pride, and other family traditions nobody needed
One family builds a town, repeats its mistakes for generations, and calls some of them tradition. Ursula spends a century trying to keep everyone alive while the Buendías keep finding new ways to misunderstand love, power, and themselves.
