UNTIL AUGUST - GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ GEBUNDEN

THE EXTRAORDINARY LOST NOVEL FROM THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA
AND ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE   A TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER   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.   ' The master of magic realism's slim and inventive last
novel is a tale of forbidden love in later life. I read it straight through in one sitting 
then got up the next day and did it again' The Times    'No writer since Dickens was so widely
read  and so deeply loved  as Gabriel García Márquez' Salman Rushdie  'One of the greatest
visionary writers - and one of my favourites from the time I was young' Barack Obama  'Few
writers can be said to have written books that have changed the whole course of literature.
Gabriel García Márquez did just that' Guardian  ' A novel both sexy and disturbing... The
lasting impression of Until August is one of deep feeling  astutely observed and beautifully
conveyed' Telegraph    'Until August is an enjoyably zingy if improbable tale of erotic
thrill-seeking tinged with bittersweet disappointment.' Collagerie - Holiday Booking
