Had a wonderful gift from a beautiful human recently. It is now my latest read, and a wonderful one at that. This latest novel, written at the peak of the author's fame, is yet again an intoxicating illustration of tranformative power. 'Memories of My Melancholy Whores', by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, moveingly contemplates the tragedies and misfortunes of old age whilst at the same time celebrating the joy of love.
It is described as 'amorous and sometimes disturbing' but it is a journey that is told 'with the grace and vigour of a master storyteller'.
A rich gift and a great meditation on life...
