The Short and Satisfying Book Club led by Georgia Court. December's selection is "Until August" by Gabriel García Márquez.
The Short and Satisfying Book Club is led by Georgia Court. It is for those looking for a shorter read that is ripe for discussion. December’s selection is Until August by Gabriel García Márquez, the extraordinary, rediscovered novel from the Nobel Prize–winning author of Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude --a moving tale of female desire and abandon.
We will meet in person at our store location at The Mark, 117 S. Pineapple Ave. The book club is $22 which includes a copy of Until August to be picked up at Bookstore1 any time before our meeting.
About the book:
Sitting alone beside the languorous blue waters of the lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach contemplates the men at the hotel bar. She has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels by ferry here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.
Across sultry Caribbean evenings full of salsa and boleros, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire and the fear hidden in her heart.
Constantly surprising, joyously sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, self-transformation, and the mysteries of love--an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.
Gabriel García Márquez was born in Colombia in 1927. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982. He is the author of many works of fiction and nonfiction, including One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera . He died in 2014.
