Book has been received and is safe and well. I look forward to reading it xx

30 June 13 - I'm not sure what to make of this book. I found that the names of the main two characters confusing at times, I thought I was reading about one of them when actually it was the other. I found Florentino quite disturbing. At the start of the book, was he writing live letters or was he just a bit of a stalker? As the story carries on he claims he's still in love with Fermina and would wait for her, but seemed to have many lovers. He was asked to be a guardian of a young girl and ended up sleeping with her too.

I found the story of Fermina and the Dr more interesting although they did not really cover his involvement of helping prevent cholera as much as I thought they might
