"A brilliantly moving tour de force." –A.S. Byatt, The New York Times Book Review"A work of considerable beguilement and edge. . . . García Márquez retains a vital and remarkable voice, and the pen of an angel." –Los Angeles Times Book Review "Captivating. . . . Evokes the texture of a civilization, while its emotional range, from the comic to the mystical, exhibits a reach rarely found in fictions on a larger scale." –The Boston Globe"Luminous. . . . Demonstrates that one of the masters of the form is still working at the height of his powers." –The New York Times
