Product Review
?Exquisitely harrowing . . . very strange and brilliantly conceived . . .a sort of metaphysical murder mystery.??The New York Times Book Review
?This investigation of an ancient murder takes on the quality of a hallucinatory exploration, a deep, groping search into the gathering darkness of human intentions for a truth that continually slithers away.? ?The New York Review of Books
?Brilliant . . . A small masterpiece . . . we can almost see, smell and hear Garcia Marquez?s Caribbean backwater and its inhabitants.??San Francisco Chronicle
?As pungent and memorable as a sharp spice, an examination of the nature of complicity and fate . . . an exquisite performance.? ?The Christian Science Monitor
"A tour de force . . . In prose that is spare yet heavy with meaning, Garcia Marquez gives us not merely a chronicle but a portrait of the town and its collective psyche . . . not merely a family but an entire culture.? ?The Washington Post Book World
