One Hundred Years of SolitudeRead about the other books on Bellingham's list.
by Gabriel García Márquez
I love books evocative of a place or culture and this book is so poetic. It’s about life in South America and expresses everyday things from a not everyday perspective. It took over my life and when I finally finished it I was bereft. Off-the-wall and unique.
One Hundred Years of Solitude made Rebecca Stott's five best list of historical novels. It is one of Walter Mosley's 5 favorite books, one of Eric Kraft's 5 most important books, and one of James Patterson's five most important books.
