This time Marquez tells the tale of a twelve year old girl bitten by a rabid dog and stays unaffected and in perfect health. Marquez touches the extremes of magical realism with vivid imaginations and descriptions that no human on earth can ever think of. Though I didn't find the book that gripping in the beginning but found myself unable to put it down towards the end. Marquez takes you through the superstitions of Colombian people and practice of exorcism resulted from those weird superstitions. I tell you my friend, Marquez teaches you once again to fall in love and be lost in that eternal feeling.A silent and seductive read.
