This is a story of unrequited love. Fermina and Florentino fall madly in love during their teens, but Fermina turns her back on her 1st love to marry a wealthy doctor. Florentino patiently waits for Fermina, never marrying. The writing is very good, but it is a slow read. I never found out if they ever were able to come together after Fermina's husband dies. The novel won the Noble prize for Literature in 1982
