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 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
