On the eve of his ninetieth birthday a newspaper columnist in Colombia decides to give himself 'a night of mad love with a virgin adolescent'. But on seeing this beautiful girl he falls deeply under her spell. His love for his 'Delgadina' causes him to recall all the women he has paid to perform acts of love. And so the columnist realises he must chronicle the life of his heart, to offer it freely to the world. . .
Márquez describes this amorous, sometimes disturbing journey with the grace and vigour of a master storyteller - Daily Mail
Márquez is wonderful on the transformative and redemptive powers of love. . . storytelling magic - Tatler
Márquez writes in this lyrical, magical language that no-one else can do - Salman Rushie
